Updated 12:48 p.m. — COMMERCE, MI — Mitt Romney cracked a joke about his own birth certificate while campaigning Friday here in his native Michigan, instantly and perhaps inadvertently inserting himself into one of the most divisive controversies in the Obama presidency.
In a riff on Friday about being back in the state where he was born and raised, presumptive GOP presidential nominee made a joke alluding to the "birther" controversies that have dogged President Obama.
Expanding on his Michigander bonafides, he pointed out that he was born in nearby Harper hospital, adding:
Mitt Romney cracked a joke about his own birth certificate, while campaigning in front of a home-state crowd in Michigan, saying "No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate, they know that this is the place that we were born and raised."
"No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate," Romney said. "They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."
Romney did not mention President Obama or controversy over his place of birth, but many in the crowd of thousands here laughed knowingly at the line.
A Romney spokesman sought to soften the remark, telling reporters: "Governor Romney was just illustrating that he was born and raised here in Michigan."
The comment drew immediate attention for invoking conspiracy theories about the president's place of birth, voiced by some conservative quarters of the GOP. These theories have been vocally espoused by Donald Trump, the reality TV star and real estate mogul who's been an active ally of Romney's this cycle.
Meet the Press moderator David Gregory explains why the RNC will give Mitt Romney a chance to change voters' personal opinions of him. Gregory says Romney must "get out ahead of his own image, define himself and take control." The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson joins the conversation about the RNC and says it will be interesting to see if the GOP can keep its focus.
An Obama spokesman, Ben LaBolt, shot back: "Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them. It’s one thing to give the stage in Tampa to Donald Trump, Sheriff Arpaio, and Kris Kobach. But Governor Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.”
Trump had kept the so-called "birther" controversy alive long after it had been debunked, calling for President Obama to release his long-form birth certificate last spring to prove that he was a natural born American citizen. Romney's campaign has kept its distance from Trump's remarks, with Romney repeatedly saying he believes the president was born in the United States, and that he did not agree with Trump's comments.
(Obama has released his birth certificate, which shows he was born in Hawaii.)
The comment nonetheless was reflective of the personal nastiness that has seeped into the Obama-Romney campaign.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann arrive at the Oakland County International Airport Aug. 24 in Waterford, Mich.
The president, for instance, made a similar endeavor onto this turf when he joked about Romney putting a his dog on the roof of his car in the 1980s.
"During a speech a few months ago, Gov. Romney even described his energy policy this way, I’m quoting here, ‘You can’t drive a car with a windmill on it,'" Obama said earlier this month in Iowa during a trip to promote wind energy.
"Now I don’t know if he’s actually tried that — I know he’s had other things on his car," Obama added in a joke he'd end up repeating several times that day.
We all know Romney's a D-Bag....
And someone thought he was anywhere near the middle...pandering to the lowest of the lowest of the bottom of the barrel right wing-nuts. Even Santorum wouldn't go there, but Romney went there?
I'm a little surprised, but I don't know why I am... because Romney's the guys who would do or say anything to get elected. His flipped on virtually every conceivable issue you can think of. I mean, the guy's got no core. Is he a dem, independent or a conservative... he's not any of that - he's what you want him to be. An Etch-a-sketch.
Tax dodger...putting money in Caymans and Swiss...
Tell me how you amassed $100millions in IRA? Some body please tell me how!!!
And no one can convince me that he's not hiding something in his taxes... CHEAT~!!!
Tunde,
I am just pleased to see Willard agrees with the President on one thing!
From his fundraiser last night;
"No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate"
CORRECT Mittens, that's because you're WHITE
Why hide your tax records if there's nothing wrong with them?
Why isn't America good enough for your money?
Why hide behind your religion and use it to hide your tax returns?
CROOK!
Nobody ever asked to see Romney's birth certificate because nobody ever gave a crap about Mitt Romney.
Obama/Biden 2012
Feisty,
Yup, that's true, especially the part where he admits that he says...they know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses... that my friends is what I call extremely UN-AMERICAN.
Romney the TAX CHEAT.
Mitt is a jellyfish when it comes to standing up to anyone in his party, yet he will do something like this to prove that he has more spine than class.
A d-bag Tunde?
Tell us why he is a d-bag.
Flipping is interesting, right.
So to you, Obama never, ever flips. He only evolves, right?
Tax dodger? Perhaps you ought to define the term. Are you saying he did something illegal? Like Rangel of Geitner?
You got a 401K? Cause if you do, then you likely have overseas investments, done for tax purposes.
Tundie - do you even have a tax plan?
Tundie - I know several people who have that much and more in IRA/Roths/defined benefit plans. Heck I got one gut who has $100 million in one bank account.
I call it 'leer-jet rich.'
They ain't like you and me Tundie, but it don't mean they broke the law.
Speaking of which - where do you suppose Oprah stashes all her fat stacks?
nobody cares about Romney's birth certificate. But we would like to know what the hell planet he's from.
because, for 20 years now, they have been too busy asking for your tax returns!
Scratch that... this is better ROMNEY THE RACIST TAX CHEAT! ;o)
I'm glad he finally took off the lily white sheet he's beem hiding under and is letting America see his true colors!
If I recall correctly, Barry promised the American people he would have the most “transparent” Presidency ever. The plain and simple fact is that Barry is just another lying, full-of-sh!t politician.
The AP is reporting that the supposedly “independent expert” Barry got to testify before Congress about the soundness of DOE’s Dr. Chu-Chu railroading taxpayer loans through to Barry campaign cash bundlers is actually a major donor to Barry himself. This “independent” moron cleared Barry of any wrongdoing, and then turned around and donated an amount to Barry’s campaign that would make any one of Barry’s 23 million unemployed American worker’s ecstatic to receive for getting a full time job.
You’re doin’ a heck of a job, Barry.

AP Exclusive: Energy loan watchdog an Obama donor
By STEPHEN BRAUN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A veteran Wall Street executive who performed an independent review that exonerated the Obama administration's program of loans to energy companies contributed $52,500 to re-elect President Barack Obama in the months since completing his work, according to an Associated Press review of campaign records. The executive defended the integrity of his conclusions and said he decided to donate to Obama after his work was finished.
The campaign contributions to Obama started just weeks after Herbert M. Allison Jr., in congressional testimony in March, minimized concerns that the Energy Department was at high risk in more than $23 billion in federal loans awarded to green energy firms. Two weeks later, Allison began giving to the Obama campaign. His contributions to Obama and the Democratic National Committee totaled $52,500 by last month. Allison previously was the former head of the government's mass purchase of toxic Wall Street assets.
Allison did not make any Obama donations during his four-month review of Energy Department loans, and he has a long history of working with and giving money to both political parties. However, Republican Party officials and congressional critics of the energy loans said Allison's donations to Obama raise doubts about his objectivity and highlight his decision not to assess multimillion-dollar loans to two companies that later went into bankruptcy - the troubled Solyndra solar panel company and Beacon Power, an energy storage firm
So Tundie - I will be buying another shiny SUV soon. As a small business owner I a entitled to take advantage of IRC Sec. 179, and write off $25k of the purchase price. A few years ago it was 100%, but is limited to only $25k for SUVs now.
Still 100% for trucks, and there are a lot of really nice pick ups out there.
So when I exercise the 179 option, am I 'un-american?
If so, why?
Tundie - have you ever even read the tax code?
JDills
It took Romney 36hrs to respond to the Akin statement. He couldn't get in touch with all his handlers to find out what he was to say....
Why does the press give this ignoramus old while male a pass on this gaffe? What a nasty racist double standard for him and the press. He is a Sheriff Arpaio or male Orley Tate running for President. He is dangerous for America and the world.
lol ok then, take your chances with Romney..who is already telling reporters what they cant ask. Like he just took a page right from Bush's memoir.
Hey fisty, What in his statement was racist? Hello?
Nice clown nose.
And david saint - both campaigns screen any questions and answers the press asks of their staffs prior to any "interview" releases. BOTH.
Already one of Willard's number one boot-lickers, Mark Halperin, is already trying to shove the genie back into the bottle!
The great apology tour continues from Team Willard...
Gosh - how is it that this obviously racist tax cheat is tied with the One in the polls?
Say, what evered happened to those felony SEC charges gang?
Spanky-
It's okay to change your positions every once in a while... but when virtually all your positions are changed... some even within the span of hours... it's a little dis-heartening that this is all can be produced by the conservatives... completely disgraceful.
I never said or implied he did anything illegal; because something is legal doesn't automatically means its right or moral, or that he's not a cheat. I explained it in my original post... no further explanations needed here.
It can happen, but it is extremely unlikely, unless there are loop-holes in the code that only allows a few to take advantage of. Romney the cheat knows those rules.
Who cares if Orpah does the same thing....it's still wrong if she does.
The thing is that we know Romney typically pays less than 10% in taxes... the 13.5% he mentioned to you is effectively taxes (including state income, sales tax and property taxes)... remember, he says "I haven't paid less than 13.5% in taxes" (paraphrasing) not federal income taxes.
I repeat, Romney's a D-BAG and a CHEAT.
Call her Jen.
What a complete hypocrite. Show us your taxes you tax evading fake American!
$$$$$$$BREAKING$$$$$$$
Immediate clean up in Willard Land!
His campaign......"Willard was joking"...........
Romney the racist dog whistler.
Romney is a low down dirty dog. He didn't have to appeal to his racist base with that innuendo.
spanky If you have the Oprah, South Park episode you know where she hides her money. LOL
being an american gives me the right to piss on the american flag- but why would i want to. romney, if he is indeed born in america has the right to hide money off shore and screw america by not paying taxes, but why would he want to. being americans gives the rights to do lots of things, but real americans put their country first- that is why/how we win wars when brave men (and women) give their life for others. romney thinks only of himself. he is not an american- he should be tarred and feathered.
Full disclosure: I am an Independent. The MSM media is again is trying to distracts us form the real issues of this great country with this tired and old Birtherism piece. Instead of coming back with the also tired conservative media mouth-piece on "focusing on the jobs and economy". Let me offer a refreshing change of pace. Specifically, how about talk about Obama's vision and plans for the 2nd term. Ooops, he doesn' have one. Well, at least its a hidden one. Despite the Democrats' "shellacking " in 2010, the president moved left. President Obama has a reputation for talking, but not necessarily for saying much. He has achieved new levels of vagueness this election season. Beyond repeating that he's in favor of making the "rich" pay for more government "investment," he hasn't offered a single new idea for a second term. This is deliberate.The core of the Obama strategy is to make Americans worry that whatever Mitt Romney does, it will be worse. That's a harder case for Mr. Obama to make if he is himself proposing change. Let us help him out: An Obama second term will be foremost about higher taxes and greater spending. In addition, the left-leaning New Yorker magazine article in June noted: "The President has said that the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change."
None of this is hyperbole. Mr. Obama is open about his tax aims, is proud of his spending and has never apologized for his regulatory ambitions. While Democrats will take careful pains in coming convention weeks to avoid outlining the president's intentions, they are sitting in plain sight. The real choice this fall will be between Mitt Romney's reform agenda and a Supersized Obama. No wonder the Democrats and their mouth pieces are keeping mum or offer up distractions to avoid the real hidden agenda. The truths hurts, so after some private weeping, both of y'all Left/Right haters better come back with some serious and meaningful debate on why I am wrong here and I need to join your camp for voting for or against your boy.
Tundie - you said above "Romney the tax Cheat.
And of course you know cheating on your taxes is illegal, so what gives?
But riddle me this Tundie - how does Harry Reid, who has only ever been a public servant amass millions?\
I highly recommend you read and understand the tax code. It'll save you a bunch.
Tax dodger...putting money in Caymans and Swiss...
_______________________________
Turd-e: I have really enjoyed the financially-unsophiticated, W-2 based, standard deduction, lefty liberal morons who have jumped on this bandwagon pulled by Jackass Dems. If Romney WAS cheating on his taxes, Why the hell would he alert the IRS to his "crimes" by reporting it on his 1040 that he personnaly signs under penalty of perjury??
Lefty liberals = income tax morons.
I will not believe the man is from Michigan until I see him eat a Coney Dog properly.
USA Today - confirmed Obama has MILLIONS of fake twitter followers.
Oh my.
Too Funny.
Spanks,
The 179 just allows you to write off that vehicle this year instead of spreading the write off over 5 years. Big deal, and it doesn't have ANYthing to do with offshoring or tax havens. You're buying a vehicle for business purposes here in the USA. No, there's nothing wrong with that, expecially if you're going to buy an American made vehicle. You are, aren't you?
Romney may be born in Michigan, raised in Michigan, his dad governorof Michigan, but he left this "home state" to live, work and be governor of Massachusetts!!! So what should we think he is, Michigand or Massachuests citizen?
When you've got nothing you have to lie; Romney lies like he's Big Brother from "1984".
The problem is that big business doesn't create the 80% of jobs that small business does.
Too bad Obama evidently doesn't know that, or worse, just flat out doesn't care.
Yep, they have their market share and can maintain / get richer by simply passing those costs to the consumers. Small business is very stressed or can't in many cases.
Yep they have armies of tax attorneys and accountants that enable them to put together returns like Obama's buddy at GE - a return equivalent to 25,000 pages - where they pay no US taxes.
Small business can't do that.
Bottom line - Big business is where the big political money is. Big business is much easier to control than millions of small businesses - it's easier to control a few tigers than a million alley cats.
Those are 2 reasons Obama / big government favors big business ... a reason for Obama's policies and a reason there is no recovery.
save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses
This election is about who will restore the American economy.
Obama has proven incapable.
Democrats have failed to put up anyone else.
Romney has a proven ability to grow business, even nearly bankrupt ones. He has submitted all tax returns required by law.
Tax returns are not the issue... THE ECONOMY IS AND OBAMA IS A FAILURE !
However, plenty of people have asked to see your super secret tax returns!
Whatcha hiding Willard?
Spanky-
Tax dodger? Perhaps you ought to define the term. Are you saying he did something illegal? Like Rangel of Geitner?
Spanky,
Geitnher paid his taxes. We won't know if "MYTH" paid his if he won't release at least 5 years. That's right, he won't open his godammn mouth about his taxes. In fact, he won't even talk about them unless it's to say he's never paid below 13%. How do we know if it's federal taxes?
Tundie - do you even have a tax plan?
"MYTH" Romney, the sadistic, Mormon hair-cutter and demonstrative, evil motherf***ing, racist, tax plan is his vagina riot. Myth has lost his f***ing mind over cutting taxes for his rich cronies rather than doing what's best for women and the middle and poor classes.
So you're against higher taxes, government regulations, government spending, claim Obama has a hidden agenda and that Romney has a reform agenda.
How is that an independent point of view?
American vehicle?
Let's see, my last 2 SUV: 2000 Toyota Landcruiser, assembled in Japan, 2008 QX56, assembled in Tennessee.
Got it narrowed down to 1. '13 QX56 - now assembled in Japan, GL550, assembled in Germany I assume, or a Range Rover Sport.
But my motorhome and Chevy P/U were both 100% american made.
The Obama joke is about something that Willard personally recounted, and it was animal abuse.
The Romney joke is about something long ago disproven, and I bet Hair Boy Trump brings it up again during the RNC.
Judges say . . . Romney wins! What a fool. Neither himself nor his minions can get out of their own way.
romney finally showed what a low life he really is. h e will never ever be president. he's wores then dick nixon. and that's saying a lot.
witless romney has a lot of class, to bad it is all LOW CLASS.
Show me the taxes you cheating lying dog. you really have showed your true COLORS...OH YEA
elaine - the dogs are offended - just so you know!
Obama/Biden 2012
Joe in Albany-1902257,
I see that you have not changed, when you are on the losing side of an argument, you seem to always resort to insults... I still will not insult you buddy - it aint worth it. In any event, like I said earlier... I don't think he did anything illegal...they rich cheat because they write laws that they are only previed to...
Please tell me oh mighty smart one.... can you make short term capital gains, and pay tax like it's long term capital gains.. I bet you can't.. but Romney does.. it's called Carried interest tax rates; that's cheating, even if it's legal. Please learn to read my previous post before asking questions that I've already answered. I don't have the time to be educating you all the time - it's tiring.
Watch these two clips (click the links), especially the second one, where Debbie Wasserman lies and then admits that she doesn't care if she lies and that it "doesn't matter" if she lies in campaigning for Mr. Obama
It is fun watching Debbie Wasserman admit that she doesn't care if she and Mr. Obama lie and misquote in order to make a point. It tells you everything you need to know about the Obama campaign. They lied to you before, they are lying now and they will lie to you again, as long as it serves their purpose of trying to dupe voters into voting for Mr. Obama..
Why vote for a man who uses someone who admits that she "doesn't care" and it "doesn't matter' if she lies to try and get your vote?
You simply can not trust anything Team Obama says when they openly admit that they will lie to you and "it doesn't matter" if they do.
END THE LIES IN NOV., VOTE ROMNEY/RYAN.
PS. Mr Obama should call for the immediate resignation of Debbie Wasserman, unless he sanctions lying in his campaign
Now this is the very definition of desperation. Romney is now a BIRTHER!
He's had to stoop to Birther tactics. That's just sad.
This is the best the GOP has to offer?
Pitiful, just pitiful.
Where are those tax returns Mitt? The 13% man.
Obama/Biden 2012
It matters not if Romney broke the law Spanky, this is politics, and he is basically "taking the fifth". Now what is it you always say about people when they take the fifth? Politically he must feel there is some very damaging stuff in there, it may be legal, but if he felt good about about it politically he would simply show his taxes. This is political poison for him he must feel damned if he don't, and dead if he does or he would show them, hell even republicans booed him in the primary when he said he would not release them. He continues to "take the fifth", it's not good Spanky, oh my not good at all.
Wow, Mitty, pandering to the lowest of the low in your party. You learn that at the church you attend?
It isn't even so much that you are CLUELESS about the Presidency or this country...
YOU ARE A DESPICABLE HUMAN BEING.
Mitty and Queen Ann: The WORST America has to offer.
So Mitten has once again cemented his lead in people that were going to vote for him anyway, bravo. How about that reaching across thing, being inclusive? What about not trying to alienate Hispanics, women, old people, the working poor, and pretty much anyone that isn't just like you? Considering white males are a minority, he should really rethink this strategy.
Silverfield,
You said,
and...
Just because you don't understand Obama's position, that doesn't mean he doesn't have one.
No it's not. The real choice is between continuing on the course that has successfully averted the worst depression in anyone's memory, or going back to the policies that nearly caused it.
Things could certainly be better, but four years ago anyone with any sense of economics on either side of the aisle was warning that things were about to get much worse than they ever did. The Republicans want to go back to that.
Romney Racist Tax Cheat.
Every African American already figured out you and the Repuke vomit in my mouth GOP Right Wing Nut Job Lunatic Party were the KK Klan without the masks. In stead of the masks you hide your agenda from the public until Akin blabbed it out.
Hints the reason you will get 0% Zero Percent Black VOTES. F-N Zero you know you have to be bad for an F-N zero. The only people those ad and fux up noise convince is racist people.
I believe it's Kolob, but he probably won't admit it publicly. By the way, why hasn't someone asked him about the planet Kolob, or the Seer Stones? Back to Kolob, here's an interesting point of trivia: Kolob is also the inspiration for the fictional planet Kobol within the Battlestar Galactica universe, created by Glen A. Larson, a Mormon.
It's funny how when Obama makes a snide swipe at Romney, the press is a flutter over Obama's oratory skills. Jake Tapper and Chris Mathews feel a thrill going up their leg at every Obama utterance. However comments about Obama draw "GASPS" from the liberal media, who are increasingly concerned that the American people are finally saying "the Emperor has no clothes" In November we can eliminate the national disgrace that allowed the Media to prop up the most ill prepared person ever elected to the Presidency, second only to Warren Harding.
Obama spent all day yesterday shooting hoops with NBA players. So much for "focusing like a laser beam" on the economy
NOBAMA 2012!
.
LOL! If you're an independent I'm a zebra.
People don't ask for your birth certificate because they were not told by their favorite 24/7 propaganda news station that you are not American, there is no basis of fact that you are not American, and your skin isn't brown...
You got to satisfy all 3 stages of ignorance and bigotry for it to work... not just the no basis of fact part.
Hey Feisty
Google White House Tax cheats. Or Charlie Rangel Tax cheat. Or Tim Geithner Tax cheat.
What is entertaining to me is the ignorance of the Right to see why Romney's evasiveness over his taxes and his propensity to hide wealth in tax evading shelters is no big deal. They imply that everyone would do it if they could. I have no problem with others wanting to do it. But, Mitt Romney is asking to be the President of The United States of America; the leader of the free world. The POTUS has immense power; they should be held to higher standards than normal citizens. They can influence law that would benefit themselves. That is why traditionally Presidential nominees are "open books"; so that general population can see "what is behind" the curtain, what could possibly motivate or inspire their proposed policies.. Romney's evasiveness on all things financial is very alarming to me, and should be to evryone who cares about the future of our Country..
What is he hiding? You want me to vote for you? Then come clean..
Neigh! Say it ain't so! ;-)
Good for Gov. Romney!!! Finally showing strength and humor, and he doesn't have to stoop down in the gutter, like obama has in his salacious and untruthful TV attacks!
The GOP is our only REAL Hope of taking back our Liberty that the left-wing liberals has taken away from us…
The radical left is destroying our country!
Talk about out-of-touch, whether it's joking about being unemployed (with folks really suffering from unemployment) or this comment -- It is NOT funny. Romney has Rich White Male Tourette Syndrome.
I personally find it refreshing that Romney made a joke about the birther stuff! He has personality, experience and the following of so many to make him the next president of the United States of America!
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!!
You can't be serious. Because he certainly hides it well.
Clearly Liberals hate it when you point out their hypocrisy.
B.O. didn't release his birth certificate until late last year despite being a U.S. citizen being a REQUIREMENT to become president... yet they Libs sit around whining about tax returns which aren't required at all because they desperately need to distract the rest of the sheep from Obama's failures.
Obama refused to release a document that proves a presidential requirement (U.S. citizenship) AND still refuses to release his college transcript.
A.D Texan.... your act has become very boring! Can't believe you're from Texas, but to believe you participate in government handouts and haven't worked for a very, very long time... barak would be proud of you.... a democrat to the rotten core!
Please tell me oh mighty smart one.... can you make short term capital gains, and pay tax like it's long term capital gains.. I bet you can't.. but Romney does.. it's called Carried interest tax rates; that's cheating, even if it's legal. Please learn to read my previous post before asking questions that I've already answered. I don't have the time to be educating you all the time - it's tiring.
___________________________
Turd-e: I refer to you by that name because you are about as intelligent about taxes as the turd I flushed early this morning. By definition "cheating on your taxes" is a crime punishable by a prison term and/or fine. The fact that you choose to call what Romney does, in full compliance with the IRC, "legal cheating" doesn't make your lie the truth.
As far as carried interest goes, you simply don't know what you are talking about. Carried interest income tax is based on the IRC tax treatment of partnerships which basically passes through the tax character of the profits at the partnership level to the partners individual 1040 tax return. So, if the partnership sells an asset it has held more than one year, thus qualifyng for LTCG treatment at the pertnership level, the carried interst partner is also QUALIFIED FOR LTCG TREATMENT on his 1040.
Totally legal and appropriate compliance with the IRC, duly passed by Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States. And the FACT that it pisses off lefty liberal moron class warriors loke you is just FUNNY AS HELL!!!
BTW, I don't have the time to be educating you all the time - it's boring me.
If Romney supporters do not like people speculating that he is a tax cheat, then the simple answer is to release his taxes and prove them wrong, but alas Romney "takes the fifth" so he fuels speculation, that there must be something he is afraid to show. He won't win much support past hardcore republicans with this I am the business guy that has the answers for America, but my personal business is none of America's business. It's too phony to gain the confidence of the general electorate and sweep the swing states, and that is just one of his major political problems.
1. I'm glad Romney is slamming Obama. Obama is a fool, who's in over his head. If the Media held Obama to the same standard as Bush, Obama would be below Congress in approval rating. Just read "A Slobbering Love Affair" by Bernard Goldberg to see how the Media actively supported Obama's campaign, something collaborated by Jake Tapper (ABC News) this week.
2. NOBODY CARES about Romney's tax returns. EVERYONE tries to minimize their tax burden. The tax code is incredibly complicated, with thousands of loop holes, placed there intentially to benefit one group or another. What we DO CARE ABOUT is Romney's ability to manage complex organizations and bureaucracies. Unlike Obama, who was what, a cocaine using Community Organizer?
3. Those of you so concerned about Romney's tax returns, which apparently passed mustard with the IRS, are you also concerned about Obama's application to Occidental and Columbia College, where he apparently applied under the name Barry Sorento, a foreign Exchange Student from Indonesia. Funny that the Media, who enlisted thousands of volunteers to search through Sarah Palin's emails in an effort to dig up dirt on her, somehow have NO INTEREST in discovering anything about Obama which might tarnish his image.
Well, thankfully the Media doesn't cast the only vote in November. We the people do. And we WILL remove Obama form office. YES WE CAN!
NOBAMA 2012!
.
No one has ever ask for my birth certificate.
What a relief, I thought you pro Obama folks and NBC was just before getting on with the real issues of the economy and unemployment and health care and Social Security, etc but now this. Obama was also desperate for another issue, anything, other than his failed policies to bring before the people of the country. It's obvious, that folks see what's happening as it is beginning to reflect in the polls.
Keep up the good work as it will ensure Romney/Ryan 2012.
The man was not born, he was hatched.
We want to see Mitt the Vulture's tax returns, not this Baby Vulture's birth certificate.
Hey, Mitt, don't change subject.
Yes he is.
Ah no. I call Bull Sh!t on that one. That is a total lie.
WTF!!!
He was born in Hawaii!!! See his short form, long form birth certificates and the archives of the local newspaper. Doh!!!
College transcripts??? Really??? STFU!!! College is not a requirement for public office, a majority of the vote is! Seems he already did that. Birther, Tea Party nonsense. Yeah, that's all you've got!!! Keep on spouting those lies and see how it works out for you. What a DB.

Obama 2012 / Romney 1040
Obama, You need to go with full swing with this guy. No holes barred approach. Specifically:
Now is the time, Mr. President.
Another right-wing entitlement junkie sucking at the public teat.
And you know, that writeoff is for vehicles for business purposes, and you're supposed to pay taxes on the percentage of personal use.
I think a few inquiries from the 'vine to the IRS are in order.
News98 - mind showing us all those Muslim Brotherhood contributions to Obama?
C'mon - even a Teabagger can come up with a few real facts.
Personally,i'm kinda glad that Malibooooo Mitt went there. President Obama is a Chicago Politician that knows How to Go There himself. He's already dispatched VP Biden to Tampa, to Crash the "Hatefest" of the GOP, & thats just 1 on Many things to come, that Democrats before him have Failed to Comprehend.Even ole BROWNNOSE Chucky T knows this to be TRUE!
With that said, now the Door has opened for a Rep Louis Gomert style "Anchor Baby" investigative peice on Maliboooo Mitt, because we already know his Dad George Romney was Born in Mexico! America, don't be Surprised when a peice comes out asking(or showing) that George was NEVER a Naturalized Citizen of the USA, therefore Making Maliboooooo Mitt an Undocumented ILLEGAL Alien, or in the words of Rep Louis Gomert, "An Anchor BABY"!
Yeah Baby, Americas Chicago Style Politician, President Barrack Hussein Obama, Will Go THERE, & other places that Democrats before him have FAILED to Travel.
You Betcha!
Occupy SoggyBottom!
The whole birther, college transcript, college application, food stamps, welfare change movement is nothing less than the Republican Party's attempt to remind the Ku Klux Klan wing of the TeaThuglican Party that President Barack Hussein Obama is a black man who had a black father who was a muslim.
It has been over 50 years since the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts were passed and over 150 years since the end of the civil war. A black man is President of the United States. Get used to it. He is very capable and certainly more intelligent than any of the candidates the GOP has put forth this year.
Stop being stupid, neanderthalic, knuckle dragging, mouth breathing imbeciles and use your brains. Do NOT vote as if you are the living dead.

ZOMBIES for ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 !!!!
....and nobody has needed to ask the President, "Did you commit a felony in 2009 by under-reporting or even failing to report earned income for 2008 hidden in overseas accounts?"
....and nobody has needed to ask the President, "Did you accept tax amnesty for your crime in order to avoid felony criminal prosecution?"
....and nobody has needed to ask the President, "Did you pay a severe tax penalty in order to receive amnesty, and that penalty alone brought you back to the magical 13% effective tax rate upon which you now hang your hat?"
Well, Mr. Romney, if no one has bothered to ask, let me be the first: "May we please see your 2008 tax return?"
....and just to keep things fair and balanced, if no one has bothered to ask you about that OTHER thing, again let me be the first: "May we please see your birth certificate? No, not THAT one. The REAL one. No, the OTHER real one. Come on, man, the one which PROVES you weren't born an American....just show us THAT one."
There. Satisfied?
News98, Even a dumb old man by the name "John McCain" has come out against this Muslim Brotherhood crap. Shows the true color of the tea party's bigotry and hatred/jealousy against a colored man.
John-2006106
It's not just a snide remark... he's accusing the president of being illegitimate; can you get that through your thick skull? That's border-line treasonous (seriously).. if it was some wing-nut in your party, it's OK... but for the person who's vying to be president... it's pretty pathetic.
Well.. who went to England just a month ago; and putting both his whole foot in his mouth... dissing the country where he's visiting. A complete embarrassment from America. Just like Bush looking like a fool when he gets a visa to step out of the country, Romney's continuing the same tradition... someone please produce a cure for Romney's Hand-foot and mouth syndrome.
OK Mitt.
I want to see YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE right after I see your TAX RETURNS!
You have OFFICIALLY been asked!
Say it again and you are a LIAR. Oh wait. You already got THAT COVERED!
The most offensive thing about the remark is if it's true. Why hasn't anyone asked for his birth certificate? If that's a document that must be supplied in order for a candidate to be legit and go on the ballet, he should have released it. I'm not questioning his birthplace, only that he was not require to prove it. I'd guess that he did have to supply it, so this is another lie.
Romney was just making a joke about the assinine lawsuit that a Democrat, Philip J. Berg, filed against Obama for not being born in the United States. He filed the suit in a US District Court in Massechusetts in August of 2008. Mr. Berg, a former Deputy Attorney General, was a big Hillary supporter. It is amazing to see the left wing nuts in this country spin it so it looks like the Republicans started that whole flap about his birth. Spin, spin, spin, but the left started it and they can't let it go. You may have some right wing nuts bring it up now and then but serious people can get over it. Left wing nuts love to talk about it all the time. When you have nothing, spin something.
Lighten up and LEAN FORWARD lefties, it was a joke. And maybe someone should drag out old man Berg and ask him if he still believes in his lawsuit. Or maybe that democrat should have done some jail time for filing a frivolous suit????? Afterall he should have some smarts, he was a Deputy Attorney General.
news98 - aren't you even a little embarrassed to post the nonsense you just did? Really? You're so ignorant you're still posting things that even the dumbest of Republicans has finally agreed is just plain stupid? Wow!
How far behind the times are you? Still wear the powdered wig and all that?
Republicans never cease to amaze me that they can actually sink so low and still want to show it!
JH - please! Try to spin it any way you want, it is the far right radicals that have done the birther thing over and over again. Just look at news98 - one of yours!
Obama/Biden 2012
Tunde (post 1.92)
Who said that Romney went to England and put his "whole foot" in his mouth? You? The liberal media? OH MY, just what, oh what did Romney say that was so outrageous. Hmmmm, well, as the former leader of the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee, Romney was asked about the preparations in London. Here's what Romney said:
And guess what. It WAS disconcerting. The British Government DID take over security from the UK firm after the company failed in being able to meet their obligation. There WAS a threatened strike of immigration officials that was later resolved. Are you foolish enough to say that if the Immigration and custom officials went on strike during the Olympics that it wouldn't have been an unmitigated disaster? So when Romny simply states the facts, he's putting "his foot in his mouth". Dear God, such sophistry.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/piers-morgan-defends-mitt-romneys-olympics-comments-he-was-just-speaking-the-truth/
Why hasn't someone asked Romney to see his birth certificate? If he isn't a naturalized citizen he should not be allowed to run for President. It's a concern that nobody is asking the basic of questions. Romney should be asked for his birth certificate, and it should be checked to see if it is a forgery.
..SPANKY...oprah winfrey trotted $40,000,000 out of the country right under the nose of the IRS and built a wooden sewing school for 400 girls in South Africa. What a saint!
@ swschrad-2362342, Ol_Doc
nobody cares about Romney's birth certificate. But we would like to know what the hell planet he's from.
Actually, ROMNEY IS ORIGINALLY FROM MARS, which used to be a great , vibrant planet like our planet Earth. If you've had a good look at the Mars pictures coming from Curiosity you can see how much of an affect he had on the red planet during his four years there as it's leader there.
Romney/Ryan - If they only had a brain!
Obama/Biden 2012
Willard the Douche takes the high road again! Where are your tax returns, you cheat? What are you hiding that the American public should know?
John-2006106,
I appreciate that you are trying to get Romney's back...someone needs to be articulate in protecting him... and you are doing a good job, but think about this, when you go to the friends house, and his wife didn't make the best dinner in the world.... you are just supposed to say "thanks for the food, it was delicious".. and not "well, the chicken was a little undercooked, and the rice was a bit too salty, but on the whole it was just alright..." it's simply out of courtesy and respect. Even if you wanted to state a fact...not every thought in your mind is supposed to be actually said.
The scenario I mentioned above is just on the courtesy you afford to your friend or neighbor; there's an exponential effect when you are president.. your words have to be measured... and you have to be sensitive to your friends, enemies and allies alike.
Trust me, WORDS STARTS WARS...hell why do you think the Brits were up in arms about this. They are displaying what's best of their nation, and this clown from Yankee is negatively critiquing it. It wasn't his place to do so. That my friend is an embarrassment, not just to Romney, but the US. He was representing us all (at least 50% of us) as a presidential candidate.
This seems like a strange statement from a man sith six "natural" grandmothers who tried to sue "all media" in the 2004 primary to prevent them from asking questions about or discussing his underwear. (It was thrown out as a classic example of prior restraint.)
We don't care about your birth certificate. We know your father entered the country illegally. We want to see your "garment."
Well, here's the real deal Mitt. Nobody ever asked you for your birth certificate because you are WHITE.
It's as simple as that.
Now, if you looked more like your Mexican cousins, then you might have had a problem.
The Birther movement is a racist movement. The fact that you were never asked to produce your birth certificate prove it. And now that you've embraced the birthers, you're a racist as well. But then we have to take into account that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints didn't allow Blacks to hold church office until 1978.
Obama/Biden 2012
Quiet One -2-3
Actually he's from the planet Kolob. That's the planet Mormons believe they came from.
I'm a white german third generation immigrant - even I know what Romney said was racially insensitive. Just another example of how disconnected Romney is from any American making less than 50 million a year.
And I had to chuckle at the guy talking about what a great debater Romney is.... better than a Harvard Law Professor??? And his offhand comments, and his "I wouldn't use the same words" comments when faced with a question? Its like he doesn't prepare a thing - even when he knows the questions will be coming. Romney is a chump, and I look forward to hearing the next dozen gaffes he makes on the way to the election.
I had to laugh also at the radio commentator I heard last week about how intellectual brilliant Bush was... baloney. If you don't prepare your statements, and don't think quickly on your feet - your neither smart nor dedicated to your message. Nobody likes a Gov. Milquetoast. What was that Nordquist said about finding someone who could sign the bills he wanted into law?? Well, a vote for Romney is a vote for Grover to be president of the US.
Everyday BO brings the once great USA a little bit closer to a marxist/socialist society! And he his happy!
Show us your real birth certificate and your college records and while you're at it how'd you finance your trip as a yout (sic) to Indonesia and Pakistan... both full of Muslims who want to see America destroyed! Barry, your whole character is defined by these things!
BO stinks... always has, always will
ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 to restore the Republic again!
Actually Mitt Romney's statement is not correct.
He just returned from a trip to England, Israel, and Poland as a private US citizen.
That means he should have a US passport.
As part of the application process to obtain a US passport he would have been asked to provide a certified copy of his birth certificate.
Unless he is traveling on a foreign passport.......
Keep digging, Mitt. At one point I was seriously considering voting for you. Now I hate you more every day. You open your mouth and you lose another voter.
Oh great...so for the next four or five days we'll be hearing our pouty president and Stupid Joe Biden ranting on about Obama's birth certificate instead of promoting the plans that didn't work over the last three years but are most assuredly guaranteed to work correctly over the next four years.
Perhaps the dynamic duo can explain why health insurance companies all over the nation are submitting requests to their respective states for rate increases from 12.5% to 14.5% to cover the costs imposed on them by the '(Un) Affordable Care Act'. While they're at it, they can also explain that the ACA rules dictate that health insurance companies requesting an increase of 15% or more must submit to a public hearing to explain their reasons for that much of an increase, while those requesting rate increases of under 15% do not. According to ACA rules, that must mean that a 14.9% rate increase is fine and dandy but a 15.1% increase is not.
Thus the President and his lackeys have no problem with premiums going thru the roof...as long as that roof is under 15%.
The President likes to boast that he did not raise taxes on the middle class. Does it really matter whether the taxman or the insurers takes an extra chunk of one's money ??? Anyone doubt that this will not be the first year with double digit increases in health care insurance premiums ???
Congratulations, Mr Romney; besides uttering a truly funny line, you have thoroughly pizzed off the entire humorless lib community by doing the unthinkable....poking fun at their paper mache messiah. You can tell from the intensity of hatred in their rhetoric that their panties are in a super tight knot. Priceless!
Romney is a DORK!
That was a total dog whistle. This guy is unbelievable.
Do we really want this man, negotiating with Russia, Iran and North Korea?
What a GOP mess. Let's all do our best to keep it contained just to the GOP and not
have it spread across the rest of our proud nation.
Turd-e Akins: Ignoring my post # 1.73??
Why am I not surprised??
Lefty liberals HATE the FACTS that prove them wrong.
LMFAO@U!!!!!!
Joe in Albany-1902257:
Wow. You're pretty bold, to denigrate everyone who actually earns a paycheck for their living and doesn't make enough for it to be worth itemizing deductions.
News98:
With the amount of conspiracy-theory crap you spew (even in that very post), you're pretty much the last person in the world who gets to accuse anyone else of wearing tinfoil hats.
Ash: Just ignore Joe In Albany, he is a troll.
ARE THERE REALLY STILL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT THE OBAMMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT THEY RELEASED IS ACTUALLY LEGIT????
comonnnnnn PLEASE..... tell me that you are joking...
America, please dont be that much of a moron...
Sherrif Joe did a complete investigation and it is 100% fake... PERIOD!
I checked it out myself, you guys are jokers!
IT IS A FAKE... and so is OBAMMA... and so is ROMNEY for that matter...
They are all liars and crooks and deserve to be tried for treason...
Let's see, you're rich, NEVER SERVED IN OUR MILITARY, and white, that's enough.
No, President Obama never served either, but ya'll keep asking about his birth certificate anyhow.....!
Did your "pucker up" before you said that? LOL!!!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN....2012!!!!
...
MITT, I AM ASKING TO SEE YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, AS WELL AS YOUR TAX RETURNS. I have never seen such a lying piece of crap in my life. (and he wants to run the country LOL) Wonder why MSNBC and other media outlets have yet to produce the BAIN documents that came to light yesterday, proving that Mitt was there in 2002 and didn't actually retire in 1999, like he said. Another thing, he has more money that God and he knows it and he has paid less taxes, from what we have seen, so far, than most of the people I know who are considered middle class? How is that? Oh yea, he is a liar.
OBAMA 2012
I'm also glad he said it spider, he gains nothing with it, the people that want to hear that are already in his camp, so what it does is motivate his opposition, and it hurts him with independents when he pays homage to the most nonsensical faction of the republican party. It's politically inept, and gains him zero support with any of the groups he needs to sway to win a general election. I hope he uses that line everyday, not because it is priceless but because it is useless.
As Mister Rogers would say, "Hey kids, can you say 'Absolutely No Class'?"
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
Romney needs to apologize to the President. What an azzhole. You people who vote for him are the same. My God, grow up. Are there that many morons who believe this crap.
Yes, it was cheap shot, but then so was Obama's bit about the dog on the car roof. It's a campaign; get over it.
Romney may have thought he was simply joking about no one asking to see his birth certificate but I'd wager the lefties have already looked at it hoping to dig up some dirt about him.
Now I want to see Mitts birth certificate NOT to prove he is a citizen but to prove he's human. I'm just not quite sure!
Obama/Biden 2012
Hey People,
Please STOP calling Flipper a tax cheat until there is actual evidence that he is.
Seriously, I highly doubt there is anything actually illegal there. It is much more likely that he is withholding them because he knows everyone already sees him as "out of touch" and seeing a reported income in the tens of millions in a year ain't going to help that.
I don't know about you, but as a middle class person I really couldn't ever trust anyone who made that kind of money. There is simply no way he could possibly understand me, my values, or where my values come from.
That is the real reason why Flipper won't let them out.
@Jonathan-1728701
ARE THERE REALLY STILL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE . . .
. . . that this is actually an issue? Apparently just you and Sheriff Joe.
You're the one who just showed who is being a Moron!
Let's see the Birth Certificate Mitt, I heard you were born down in Mexico.
Let's see the Tax Returns Mitt, I heard you paid no taxes for ten years.
And while you're at it I want to see Queen Anne's birth certificate too, just to be safe.
Obama/Biden 2012
Jonathan-1728701:
LOL. Are there really still people who believe that Joe Arpaio has anything resembling integrity or objectivity, and is not an unabashed racist?
Father Vulture, George Romney, was born in Mexico.
When George was running for Pres. in 1968, Father Vulture was asked to show his birth certificate.
Jock,,,, there is a big difference between the truth and a blatant lie.
Nobody ever asked him for a birth certificate because we all know where he's from LA LA Land
Joe in Albany-1902257:
Wow. You're pretty bold, to denigrate everyone who actually earns a paycheck for their living and doesn't make enough for it to be worth itemizing deductions.

Ash Plissken: I was responding to a lefty liberal moron who was whining about "carred interest" tax rates without even the first clue about the IRC (Internal Revenue Code). He needs to stick with what he is knowledgeable about, like the 1040-EZ. If Turd-e Akin wants to do battle with me about sophisticated tax issues like carried interest, he shouldn't go into battle totally intellectually unarmed.
BTW, are you any relation to Snake??
Mitt really doesn't want to go there!
Though candidate Romney is opposed to 'illegal' immigrants receiving welfare, his own parents, also immigrants, were raised on it.
For, you see, Mitt's father, George Romney, who also ran for president was not born in the US! It's already been published: Mitt Romney's father is Mexican. George Romney was born in 1907 in an American colony in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. That alone brings up a few questions, like: why in the hell didn't we have this whole "birther" controversy when George Romney was going to run for president in 1968?
...during a contentious run-in with a reporter from The Atlantic about how his parents were on the government dole when they first arrived here in America. The U.S. government fed and housed them.
”I know what’s it’s like to be poor. My family was fed and housed by the United States government”, said George.
Government assistance provided the Romney family with the opportunity to climb the ladder of success, but now Romney and his ilk parade around, calling President Obama "The Food Stamp President," knowing full well that Mitt Romney wouldn't be here to run for President if it weren't for government programs and "entitlements" that they did not even help pay for...
The "Safety Net" that President Obama is offering to other "Anchor Babies" is the same one Romney doesn't want anyone else to have.
@Tunde, the thing about Romney's birth cert. is that no one is interested in seeing it but like you rightly articulated in one of your posts, every one would like to see his tax papers for at least six extra years from what he's showing. Romney is a contortionist: He would twist himself into any shape or form to make sure that everything he says is what you want to hear. What a shame?!
Mitt has officially joined the circus as a cast member.
One would hope that a serious presidential candidate would remain above this level of thinking/talking. I work at a fortune 500 tech company and I can guarantee that if our CEO made this type of comment in a speech, they would be a laughing stock.
Sorry Mitt, you just don't have the right stuff.
Just when we thought the clown car from the Repug primary had dropped all the worst of the bunch off at the curb, Romney steps out as the driver.
Joe in Albany-1902257
Joe, joe, joe,... I'm not just sitting by my computer waiting for joe to reply to my comment lol...a little pathetic don't you think. In any event...
as you've so eloquently described the carried interest tax in a lot of words with little substance... you can spin it around as much as you want....it's still legal cheating (how you manage GE pays 0% in taxes, and Romney paying probably around ~5% in federal income taxes... )...
In any event, it's still comes back same thing... he's cheating because laws should not be written for the few wealthy. Can you claim carried interest? Can you use someone else's money to claim Long term capital gain, in some sort of a way that I'm not aware of????
See joe, you can insult me all you want... it won't change my opinion of Romney or you, and quite frankly, it doesn't bother me.... you are just wasting your time looking like a jerk over the infernert. LOL.
So SPANKY...
You bought a nice new suv that you dont use for work, yet you took the write-off??
Congratts a$$hole, your whats wrong with this country...me me me money money.
Goana be time to pay the piper damn soon :)
Anyone got spanky's info so I can report him to the IRS??
Joe in Albany-1902257:
That's nice. It doesn't really excuse using "W-2 based" and "standard deduction" as parts of an insult. If you weren't some kind of flagrant elitist who thinks he's better than others by virtue of having more money than them, it would have been just as easy to leave those things out.
Wow. Keep digging!
I see that all the right wing nut job Fascist wannabe trolls are out today. They are supporting their sociopath presidential candidate and his creepy VP nominee.
and for the mindlesss, droning idiots that still think Obama is "not a citizen", his mother was a US citizen, therefore, according to US law and the Constitution, Obama is a US citizen REGARDLESS OF WHERE HE WAS BORN, (which was Hawaii)
@owencoffin #1.2
Well, why can't we see Obama's REAL birth certificate, (or maybe we have) but forensic investigation has shown the one released is a fraud. (Or maybe they have an agenda too) Why is this an issue? Why has this man created such doubt about himself? Why wouldn't he release a birth certificate at the beginning? (Maybe he didn't actually have one?) The fact that this controversy still surrounds this guy is troubling. I am not saying Obama is not a natural born citizen, but there is enough evidence to cast doubt upon it. And would hope, and I have faith that the Secret Service has the information they needed to vet Obama. But then again, can we trust the 'Government'?
And why won't he release documents (at least for HIS EYES ONLY) to Issa, pertaining to Fast & Furious. I mean really, how hard would it be to say to Issa, "Come up to the WH, and I'll show you the stuff and you can see I am not hiding anything."
And how about his college records, did he or did he not get funding as a "Foreign Student"? Being an American Citizen and all, would he qualify for that? or would that be some sort of fraud? We can neither prove or disprove these allegations, because he won't release HIS records.
And why do you need to see more than one or two years of tax records? I don't need to see any. I don't recall it being a Constitutional Requirement to be President to show any records, other than PROOF of birth in this Country and to be over 35 years of age.
So, to all you dope smoking liberal hippies, tell Barry to release his records and I'll tell Mitt to release his.
American Socialist,
You've hit the nail on the head. Business owners are the biggest offenders when it comes to claiming expenses... take the family out for dinner and claim it as an expense because they talked about business for 5min... buy an SUV and claim it as an expense because you don't mind a little white lie about usage... etc etc etc
Spanky, I'm sure you never do any of these little tricks, right?
Now scale that to the income of someone like Romney... horses, offshore 'investments", etc etc,,, pretty soon you're talking about some real money.
But the deficit has nothing to do with them personally... someone else's fault.
This is how it starts, Mitt.
Today you signed your membership card and joined the "Whackadoodle Tea Party Republican Birther Nonsense Conspiracy Theorists Party." Congratulations! So what's good for the goose .........
OK, Democrats and Independents and disaffected moderate Republicans, the gloves are now off! Mr. Romney just gave all Americans who had been keeping their rhetorical powder dry until now, permission to dispense with all remaining reason and civility between now and the November election.
So here are the mantras for every post, and every signature line of every email message (pick one or more, or just fabricate your own)......
* Hey Mitt, show us your "original" birth certificate! Not that faked short form 'Certificate of Live Birth', we want to see the paper original! EVERYONE knows that you were born in Mexico, not in the United States.
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, show us your tax returns! Not just your most recently filed 2010 return (which EVERYONE knows is fraudulent). We want to see your previous years tax returns which reveal some of your many secret off-shore bank accounts, and reveal your investments in abortion clinics, and reveal your real estate and construction loans to radical Muslim groups for building Mosques and Madrassa schools in the US for training anti-American terrorists, and reveal the penalties you paid to Uncle Sam for tax evasion, and reveal the agreements you reached with the IRS to avoid prosecutions for multiple felony charges of tax evasion! EVERYONE knows you're a tax cheat, and a secret financier of abortion clinics and Muslim terrorist training facilities!
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, show us your High School and College transcripts and grades! EVERYONE knows you were a poor student, and that you didn't get into Harvard on your own merit!
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, tell us why your law license was revoked! EVERYONE knows you didn't surrender it voluntarily. What did you do to lose your law license, Mitt?
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, EVERYONE knows that you are a high-level member of a secret cult religion which pretends to be "Christian" but which is actually dedicated to the overthrow of the United States of America from within, and which secretly sacrifices little children on an altar of worship of the Antichrist!
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, EVERYONE knows that your grandfather was an Antichrist cult polygamist with many wives, and who fled to Mexico to avoid arrest and prosecution in the US for polygamy.
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, EVERYONE knows that your father was born in Mexico to one of the many Antichrist cult wives of your Antichrist cult polygamist grandfather!
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
* Hey Mitt, EVERYONE knows that you were born in Mexico, not in the United States, and that you were brought to the US as a child, illegally, and that you are an illegal immigrant from Mexico, not an American!
Prove us wrong, Mitt!
.
.
Wow. I feel so dirty! I feel like I need a cleansing shower. How do Republican whackadoodles do this every single day?
Bizarre, huh Mitt? I agree. But no more bizarre than the sordid crap which our current President has contended with since before his election 4-years ago. And in all of that time, the "leaders" of the Republican Party have remained totally silent, and allowed the loonies and whackadoodles within their Republican ranks to flourish.
It has never ceased, Mitt. And then today YOU intentionally, and with premeditation stoked the flames again. Well you made your bed. And this is how it begins.
So buckle your seat belt, Mitt. You have purchased your "E ticket" and by all rights you deserve a VERY bumpy ride .....
Romney? ..Isn't he some sort of Mexican?
This was a stupid comment by Mitt Romney. The comment itself was not stupid, but knowing how the media would react and still making that comment anyway was stupid. He should have known how this would be covered.
Joe Biden equates Mitt Romney to a racist slave owner and it's barely blip. Mitt Romney makes a joke about birthers and it's the top story. Really MSNBC??? You're that desperate to not avoid covering the election issues that people worry about over the kitchen table...like how to put food on it?
HAHAHAHA...listen to all the libbies whine...
Hilarious, I tell ya. I'd sure like to see all the information Barry spent so much money to have sealed. No school records to show what grades he made, what he wrote about...why, it's a miracle...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXEoQJ7ZMZs
It was a joke....a funny as hell joke. But, libs can't take a joke. So, now I'm waiting for the inevitable charges of racism!
All this--and nobody noticed his use of the royal "we" when referring to himself????
He doesn't want to be president. He already thinks he's a king!
What does it take to get through to these brainwashed FOX nuts? Donald Trump the Second!
Mitt, we have asked to see more than just two years of your tax records and to tell us about your off-shore accounts!
I feel like I am living in a parallel universe looking down on Wacko World. How can anyone with even a functioning brain stem, support this turd in a punchbowl. I used to be rather apathetic about Romney but my feelings have evolved over time to the point where I really despise him. He is a pandering, evil man.
Mitt, please don't complain about the negative ads. you feel are being put out against you when you imply the records produced by the state of Hawaii and the Obama's are not real! You have reached anew low as a human being!
Jaffa send their army of union workers to post this morning. Whrer are your comments when the unemployment numbers comes every week. You all are hiding, but you are ready to jump to comment about stupid things that do not matters. Unemployment, economic growth, debt , immigration, foreign policy, price of gas is what matters. I do not care what Romney does with his money , I care about what Obama is doing with my money. Grow- up
Joe
Everyone knows that what Romney does with his taxes is LEGAL. I do the same thing, there is no problem.
But that is not the issue, is it? That is not what scares you... that is not what keeps you up at night.
The REAL issue is that you and I both know elections are all about public OPINION... not facts, not legalities... public OPINION.
And the fact of the matter is that Romney taking advantage of the LEGAL tax code, to pay close to zero taxes, will look very bad to the overall public. Their opinion of him will drop, he will get less votes, and your team will lose the election.
THAT is why you are freaking out about this, THAT is why you are trying to desperately change the subject, THAT is why you are scared s***-less of the tax debate.
Yes, what Romney did was legal. But Romney knows, just as well as I do, that even though it is legal, it will look very bad in the realm of public OPINION.
That is reality, little boy. Good luck trying to sleep tonight.
The GOP is a very rich and powerful political party with unlimited resources. If President Obama's birth certificate was fake, they would have proven it years ago.
And if it is fake, and the Republicans cannot prove something as simple as that, why should we expect the GOP to be able to run our country and all its truly difficult problems?
He did not say Obama was not born here he said No one has ever asked me for a birth certificate, all you boneheads that read the article and start defending your messiah. When the stuff hits the fan you wired freaks of nature claim everything from ending the universe to spitting on babies. The truth is you say all that stuff because that is what you would do. I have not forgotten all the liberals who spit on soldiers returning from Vietnam. I have not forgotten how they isolate and divide in the name of the cause. The truth is all they want is power and money. Claiming to be downtrodden and then having more money than you know what to do with explains perfectly the liberal lack of moral obligation. So scream and holler libbies some of us know who you really are.
From Wikipedia:
Romney's grandparents, Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876–1926), were American citizens and natives of the Territory of Utah.[7][8][9] There are serious questions about whether or not they were American citizens. The area they were from was not part of the Utah Territory, being separated due their insistence on polygamy. They married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán in Galeana in the state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico), where George (Willards' father) was born on July 8, 1907.[1][4][10]
Not only is Willard an anchor baby, he is the child of a Chihuahuan- which I guess explains his nervous, highly irritating yipping in public.
SHOW US YOUR TAX RETURNS, Chichuahua!!!!!
LOL ... Why does anyone care if "having a birth certificate" means nothing?
See joe, you can insult me all you want... it won't change my opinion of Romney or you, and quite frankly, it doesn't bother me.... you are just wasting your time looking like a jerk over the infernert. LOL.
___________________________
Turd-e: Repeat after me "you are just wasting your time looking like a jerk over the infernert. LOL."
Can you square that bile filled taunt with you faux high minded lefty liberal statement in post #1.43: "I still will not insult you buddy - it aint worth it.
Dumb Farm Boy, How'd you get that name? It's certainly way past time to get another source for your knowledge base. Obama is a genuine American and you sound like a conspiracy obsessed individual.
How's that for a polite way to put it?
@SactoJD
Well, why don't you become a Business owner? Trust me the red tape is beyond the pale. And it costs thousands of dollars to have taxes done, (depending on the size of the business) while it is free to anyone with a W-2.
And just who do you work for? A Business Owner? Should I call them and tell them you are calling them tax cheats? Why don't you be a good citizen and turn them in yourself, if you KNOW they are committing tax fraud?
You do realize that the current Tax Code and All the Deductions were created by Democrats who controlled Congress and the White House from 2008 to 2010. And what did they do to close tax loop holes?
Nobody has asked to see Mutt's birth certificate because he is WHITE-- and it doesn't hurt to be rich on top of white.
It used to be that you didn't have to show your birth certificate to be president-- but only if you are WHITE. Now you have to have your birth certificate to vote. Well, I'll have my birth certificate, my passport, my drivers license, three government IDs-- I hope they will believe I'm who I say I am. Especially since I have been voting in that precinct for some 23 years and they know me.
That is reality, little boy. Good luck trying to sleep tonight

Sorry that it SUCKS to be you.
What will Barry say when Mitt challenges him?
"I'll show you my tax returns, but only if you show your REAL, stamped, certificate."
Bet Obama would back out of the challenge.............
A question on taxes... If the effective tax rate for millionaires and billionaires in the US is 13%, what is all the fuss asking for an extra 3% which would only raise the effective rate to maybe 14%?
Mitt Romney gets an "F" for originality
Mitt Romney gets an "F" for reasoning ability
Mitt Romney gets an "F" for pandering to the morons who still believe the birther garbage.
It's it obvious that if there were a shred of credible evidence that Barack Obama's birth conditions disqualified him for office that the John McCain campaign would have taken the issue to the Supreme Court? Hell, Hillary would have done it.
Barack Obama was born to a mother who was a US citizen. Even if the birth had taken place in Africa (which it obviously wasn't) Mr. Obama would have been born a citizen and, therefore, eligible to run for the presidency.
The Hawaii Secretary of State has verified the birth certificate and the doctor who delivered the baby has verified that the birth took place in Hawaii.
I hope that I am never so biased about any issue that I am able to reject all evidence, logic and rational thinking in order to retain my fringe beliefs the way that the birthers do.
Romney should drop the birther garbage. He already has the low-information birther morons on his side. He should concentrate his efforts on helping them find their polling places on election day - anyone who hold those beliefs surely has a hard time navigating when they leave their own porch.
@ shaak322 #1.163
Spoken Like a true liberal, Change the Subject, Ignore the Facts, and Name Call.
I no longer live on farm, hence the "Dumb" part, worse thing I ever did was get a Degree in Mechanical Engineering and move to the City and have to live in and amongst bigoted, myopic, inane morons like you. (see I can name call too) I know you were trying to be "Polite", but I recognize faint praise when I see it. I am not so subtle, I speak plainly.
And How did you get your Name? (some kind of Jedi Thing?) And Please Define "Genuine". If you mean someone bent on the financial collapse of this country by pandering to minorities, illegals and known enemies of this nation while alienating long and devoted allies, associating with communists and terrorists, then yes he is genuine. But, if you mean (b : actually produced by), then, yes, he was probably born here.
If you choose to BELIEVE that Obama is a natural born citizen fine, I would not argue with someone who BELIEVES in God, either. But the point is, there is evidence, credible evidence, on both sides of this issue. And his handling of the incident did nothing to squelch the debate early on. And at no point did I say definitively, "He WAS NOT a US Citizen", and I don't buy into "conspiracy theories", My comment was about the vagary of his handling of it, which does lend credence to those posting the theory.
And while your at it, look up "Obsessed", I'm guessing you don't know what that means either.
I personally am getting sick and tired of the racism of the right. Pander all you want but when you become racist to do it, dont expect those in the middle to vote for you or anyone in your party. And those that come here and defend him are no better than he is, the bottom feeders. If this is what you want then vote for him, I just dont see why you have to stoop to this level, unless you dont see any other way of winning.
However Romney has now taken away the ability to call the president divisive, this is the most divisive thing I have ever in my life heard a polititian running for president say.
Joe
Ohhhhh... did I hit a nerve? I think I did.
You always know the truth stings when a conservative ignores an entire post and can not argue even one point.
BTW
You are paying the full 15%? Ahhhhhh... someone isn't smart enough to reduce that rate. How naive.
But when you try to get your "restful sleep", just remember that I live very close to one of Romney's properties... in a VERY wealthy area (an area you could not afford to move to, seeing as how you can only afford Albany). You see, Romney and I do the exact same thing with our taxes. The difference, I benefit from a very low tax rate and no one cares... but that same actions will cost Romney the public opinion, and hurt his election. That must sit well with you.
It must be difficult for NBC to twist a simple comment into a campaign issue - give us a break.
The only question is whether NBC got it's 'talking point' from the White House or they came up with it themselves.
paplov28667
It's time ICE paid a visit to the White House and deport that Kenyan back to Africa where he belongs.
................It's amazing how clever some people can be, especially the new wave mouth breathers in this country. Hmmmm.....paplov, is that a derivation of pap smear?
Um. Tony...what are you pissing and whining about? Are you having a DOUCHE MOMENT, or did you forget that it was YOUR MORMON CULTIST, MAGIC-UNDERWEAR CANDIDATE who brought this up!!
You can be pissed-off all you want -- but remember, your Moronic Cult Candidate keeps opening his mouth and stuffing BOTH of his idiot feet down his throat every time!
myguy,
Joe is in Albany, which is their problem and makes the rest of the country very happy.

It must be difficult for NBC to twist a simple comment into a campaign issue
..............Much more difficult than for someone like you. Ah yes, another proclamation from Mount Sinai. Let's see, thank God the GOP/TP, RNC or Romney campaign never did anything like this, e.g., "You didn't build this", right.
IT WAS A @!$%#ING JOKE!!!
It is amazing to me that Mitt Romney thinks making a "birther joke" at a rally is fitting of a person running to be President of the United States of America. This man has so much baggage to carry as it is, he should be the last person out laughing "nobody asked me to see my birth certificate?" Well Mitt, how about you show us your selective service records.....you are asking people in this country to vote for you as our next President and Commander in Chief. You will not show American voters your tax returns. You conveniently requested an extension on your 2011 returns until after the 2012 election. You say you paid no less than 13% ever in taxes, which is shameful enough to flaunt at the American people when we in the middle class are being killed by our tax burden for two wars on a credit card and deregulation of banks and wall street.
Where does Mitt Romney get the nerve to think he is above anyone else who has ever run for President of the United States. Mr. Romney does not only dodge taxes, but he is also a draft dodger. When he turned 18 and was required as all young men are, to register for selective service, his father filed for a deferment for him for 2 1/2 yrs as a Mormon "Minister of Religion" and sent him to France. During those years of the Vietnam Draft, Mitt Romney received 3 more deferments until he drew a number (which was the lottery drawing in those years) high enough over #195 so that he would not be drafted and then did not have to file for another "missionary" deferment.
This is quite a guy America.....Is this really who we want in the White House? This man is so out of touch with real Americans it's pathetic. Paul Ryan and his buddy Rep. Akins co-sponsor legislation with medevial theories of medicine and a 1950's view of women, then run on a platform of "America First" (I guess after your Mormon missions keep you out of the draft) and "Moving America Forward" (and I guess that is after we have pushed women rights back to the 1950's)
Is that something you lick all the time?
.....
weak, very weak come back, please try again with some true intelligence. I'm mean, if I wanted to respond in kind, I might have said it is better than the guy you lick....see how moronic that is.

IT WAS A @!$%#ING JOKE!!!

Vyor...Don't rain on their parade. Let them have their little hissy fit, it's all they got. Just more of their squirrel!!! tactic. They have NO sense of humor, and who can blame them when they have to hold up their straw man. Judging from such "classy" (ahem) comments coming from the left they aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate mature humor....Fart jokes are probably more to their understanding.
Oh the humanity, the Obama trolls,sheep and Zombies are restless tonite over a birth certificate comment! Never mind the economy lord Obama was supposed to fix,the trolls,sheep,and zombies have gov't jobs. Barack Obama you are so toast if this is all you have going into the convention! Bye bye Barry, ROMNEY/RYAN '12 JAN 20,13 THE END OF AN ERROR!
Um. Tony...what are you pissing and whining about? Are you having a DOUCHE MOMENT, or did you forget that it was YOUR MORMON CULTIST, MAGIC-UNDERWEAR CANDIDATE who brought this up!!
.......
Frogmorton, quit picking on the Mormons, look what they've done for this country, they don't fill up job opportunities in the military and they gave us Donnie and Marie!
How do we know Romneys' taxes passed IRS muster the last 2 years??? Were there no fines or non allowances???
Maybe we all should start asking, or could it be that no one really cares about this thieving politician in the first place.
OBAMA 2012
Of course it was! Never mind that that idiot Donald Trump had a FUNDRAISING the night before. I love the stink of HYPOCRISY!!!!
Reports are that Romney was in his hometown so of course the joke makes sense.
The people who don't get the joke are really narrow-minded and believe the spin the media is doing against Romney.
Don't you understand that this is the same stupid ploy that Rush Limbaugh uses so often? If he makes a foolish comment that doesn't quite work he was making a joke. If it works it is social or political commentary.
Here's a news flash for you Vyor. If it was a joke, it wasn't funny. If it was a joke it was old and tired and definitely not original. If it was a joke it was aimed at the lowest common denominator. If it was a joke, Romney has no future as a comedian.
If it was serious it was either pandering to the willfully ignorant, racially motivated morons of the Republican party or it was evidence that it is Romney himself who is a willfully ignorant, racially motivated moron.
I can't believe all the ignorant people who actually think Romney would would look after their best interests if he were president. Romney is in this for himself and for all the special interests who are donating to his campaign. If elected, he would be another GWB who was put in office solely to enrich his already wealthy business associates. Are there really that many people who never learn?
Not to mention the fact that all his phone calls would have to be monitored by one of his staff, to immediately "explain" what he really meant to say, or else we'd end up in a new war about every week. I can't imagine his being let loose on the world like that.
Romney is a walking disaster who can't do or say anything constructive and who, in his mind, was put on this earth solely to make money -- for himself. He doesn't care about this country. The welfare of the U.S. is irrelevant to him. He has that big business mentality that the most important thing is to make money and if opportunities open up overseas, at the expense of the U.S., so be it. Why would anyone want to put their trust in this guy?
Pandering to the lowest bottom of the barrel which Mitt learned from the Democrats who accused his father of being ineligible to run for president because he was not a U.S. citizen. George was born in Mexico to U.S. citizens in a Mormon colony. I guess missionaries are considered aliens by Democrats. A judge ruled George was an American citizen. Calling the kettle back.
And just what do you think Mitt would do as president ? Run the U.S. according to Mormon law ? Like JFK ran the U.S. according to Catholic law ? Not. Seems like the tea party and liberals use the same methods to me- fear-mongering.
Since Mr. Romney's "clever remarks" come in well AFTER the birth certificate red herring was settled, I believe it is only fitting to refer to Mr. Romney as "AFTERBIRTHER."
The problem is that it doesn't make sense and it is not because the liberal media "spined" it. Most people in this country (contrary to evidence at times) are rational thinking intelligent people, and these types of remarks have come too often from Mr. Romney. He is the candidate for the Republican party for President of the United States. With that honor, and it should be, comes a certain level of responsibility in choosing your words and formation of intelligent thoughts and expressing that to the American people who you are counting on for their vote. Romney has made one horrible mistake after another for months speaking off the cuff. In Feb. as the primaries were getting under way he made a statement "I'm not concerned about the very poor". Those are words that came right out of his mouth....no spin, just fact. Then his first trip over seas as the (presumed) candidate for Presidency in America, he insults Palestinian leaders who attended a meeting at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem with disparaging remarks about the Palestinian people which led leaders to refer to him as a "racist". Those were his chosen words again....not perpetuated by liberal media, but reported just as he said it for people to judge for themselves, then days later tried desperately to apologize to Palestine stating his remarks were taken out of context.
On July 30th, while in Poland, he made a photo op and praised Poland's economy as a "model of small government and free enterprise system and it should be an example for the United States". Really?? Poland!!! With it's life expectancy rating at #53 out of 80 nations. With it's unemployment rate at 12.5%, and a poverty level of over 17%, and government run healthcare and government run hospitals. POLAND with a corporate tax rate of 19% (15% in the U.S.) Sales Tax rate of 22% (most states in U.S. are 0%-(9.5%) and Income Tax rates of 32% progressively on income or a flat rate of 19% (AND MITT ONLY PAID 13.9 IN 2019). Makes you kind of wonder where Mr. Romney gets his ideas from that fall onto his tongue and come out of his mouth.
And this is supposed to be the best that the Republican party has to offer us.......great. I hope Mr. Romney will reign in his comments in the next 2 1/2 months before he does himself any more damage.
Can you believe it? Romney loves phucking with the libtards/turds as much as we do. I Love That!! They are so predictable. It's like watching the monkey cage at the zoo. They're so desparate they'll grasp on to anything hoping it will stop that freight train bearing down on their POS messiah. They don't even recognize the rest of the country's laughing their a$$es off at them. They just don't get the joke.
It Just Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.
You libtards/turds best get a job by November. Don't be so afraid. Work is not that bad. You might even get to like it and gain a little pride in yourself in the process. Living on handouts is Odumbo's way of enslaving you.
Be a maker, not a taker. It's good for the country.
Salvia
It was not Democrats who raised the question of George Romney's eligibility as a "natural born citizen" to run for the office of the Presidency in 1968....it was the Republican candidates. George Romney was born in Mexico and the controversy was raised by Richard Nixon's campaign staff as to his eligibility to run. While the matter was being pondered in the GOP at the time and the State Department, George Romney's poll numbers were falling and he departed the race before the matter could be resolved. Eventually, the Republican committee ruled with the Dept. of Immigration that he did meet the criteria of citizenship to run for office. So don't blame Democrats for the birther issue of Mitt Romney's father. It was his own party primary candidates and Richard Nixon's Republican election committee who raised the questions.
News for Mittens:
No, Mittens, we haven't asked to see your birth certificate.
But we HAVE asked to see more of your tax returns, and we don't seem to be getting much action on that one, do we?
Mittens' birth certificate "joke" is mean to to rile up his followers and to distract them from the fact that he doesn't say much of substance. Cheap shot, Mittens.
Collapse...collapse....BS ....BS,...... end game = Obama is a dismal failure. Cheers
Another Deadbeat Texan:
Love your comments and...um....the "wonderful" (ha ha) picture of GWB!!!
Excellent!
Freedom of speech, just one guy .... and if you're into the collapsing thing ... why don't you voice an opinion rather than shutting off those that do?
Q: And, why did he have to FIX this economy he inherited?
A: Because DUMBYA THE GREAT tanked the economy, destroying the housing and banking markets with greedy, short-sighted GOP policy. LYING his way into TRILLION DOLLAR WARS that we didn't need to fight, WARS that were supposed to be over in a short time, yet we're still in them over a decade later.
So, let's bring MITTENS and his MAGIC MORMON UNDERWEAR in with the same USA-destroying GOP policy to do it all over again.
Because, as we all know, it took Dumbya and the GOP Congress the better part of a decade to destroy our Economy, and according to the GOP -- Obama should have repaired all that damage in HALF the time.
When, given everything else we know about such things, it always takes longer to rebuild than it does to destroy. Since DUMBYA took 8 years to wreck everything, Obama should have fixed it in half the time! GOP LOGIC is as wrecked and backwards as their hateful cult BuyBull.
An article for those who love confrontation...I may have to move back to the big city so I have better things too do on Friday nights.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
I didn’t have to get past the first two posts to see the typical hate, anger, rage, racism and ignorance of the limp-wristed Libbies who pollute these threads.
The usual class warfare/envy that is the signature of the pathetic Liberal/Progressive cabal. Always more worried about what other real Americans do with their money as they submissively curtsey to their Lord and Provider, the government.
Of course they always worry about whether everyone pays their “fair share” of taxes, which is of course based on their convoluted redistributionist ideology, even though they cling to our criminal progressive tax system. We have the most feared auditing and collection agency in the world, the IRS, but that’s never good enough.
It’s obvious the Libbies just can’t survive on their own, even with their self-proclaimed education. They reject self-sufficiency and embrace the “Life of Julia” simply because their last shred of ambition has been stripped from them. It’s embarrassing to watch as they have to rely on everyone else to provide for them and then they have the balls to demand more.
Then we have the prototypical Roswell Illinois mentality. He complains about big business doing well and in the same breath demands it funds the failing entitlements and social programs that are the hallmark of Liberalism/Progressivism failure..
I’m sure Mr. Feisty has his 401K invested in Sandy’s Flower Emporium or Bob’s Tire and Muffler Shop. I wonder what kind of dividend they offer. Of course it’s never the systems fault that allows tax avoidance, it’s the smart investors that should just surrender more so Mr. Feisty can buy some more beer and hibernate endlessly in his mothers basement as he demands more Mac-N-Cheese.
This is the dark and gloomy world Liberals/Progressives live in. They just keep changing the Bogeymen that chase them around all their life. Instead of lifting up to be independent they continue to kneel and sniff whatever chair Barrack Hussein happened to sit in last.
Romney/Ryan 2012 for real Americans
It always makes me laugh when Republican candidates do the work for the Democrats. All this comment does is make those who already going to vote for him chuckle, while making even more apparent to everyone else the racism that drove the birther movement in the first place. A movement celebrated by Tea Partiers and hardcore Republicans. In turn, this will only elicit even more negativity against his own party.
It's almost like the Republicans don't want to win.
Mittens and his queen need to release their tax returns!! End of story. I don't care if Ann thinks she is so perfect that she pees thru straws so as not to get her hair wet...but she isn't. Mitt is the most repulsive candidate to grace? the Rethug side of the aisle in a very long time. Maybe he even qualifies as the worst. Pandering liar with a harpy wife. Yeah...what a pair...make a nation real proud!! NOT...............
Romney, "take your campaign of division and anger and hate" BACK, just take it back and go away. Thank you, The American People.
There, I fixed it.
Now let's talk about Romney's unique religion, uhmm? How would good ole Mitt like that, everyone talking about whether folks are ready for the first Mormon POTUS?
Didn't ask to see your birth certificate, but still waiting to see those tax returns.........so according to you, if you're black you lie about where you were born and if you are rich and white you lie and hide how much you made, what you did with it and how much you paid in taxes...........
yup, thanks a lot for clarifying that for us Mr. Romney......
The President has proven, repeatedly, that he was born a US citizen on US soil....
can you prove, Mr. Romney, how much you made, what you did with your money and how much you paid in taxes for the last, say, 10 years?
I thought not....................you're a hypocrite and a liar and you should be sued for character assassination and lying to the public for political gain.........
playing games with peoples lives should get you a good seat in a very hot spot in the hereafter....
Love it!!!
OH....the horror of it all! obama and all the poor underprivileged liberals having to bear the brunt of the same kind of cruel little harmless "JOKE" that obama has used many times on that ole' meany Romney - what goes around, comes around...... hahahaha!
Well first off there was no such thing as a birth certificate when the Constitution was written. Registration of births were not required on a state level until the 1900's. Church records were usually the only proof. And you are incorrect in saying that no one has been compelled to show their proof of birth other than Obama. Chester Arthur, 21st President who was rumored to have been born in Canada. Other Candidates throughout our history who have run for Presidents have also come up against the same scrutny. So please read your history before posting non-sense.
Another incorrect Statement. Reagan released one, McCain two, Carter released one, McGovern released zero, Nixon released zero, Kennedy released zero, Humprey released zero, and the list goes on for candidates who have ran for office. It wasn't until the 1968 election that candidates released returns. Romney's father's returns were already public record because he was in the Senate & it is required by law that they release their returns each year while holding public office. The fact is NO ONE CARES about frigging tax returns!!! If they were not abiding by the IRS tax laws they would have been caught and that would be a matter of public record. Clearly that doesn't make any difference either since Geitner is running the IRS after cheating on his taxes. Besides, you wouldn't know what you were looking at in the first place, so what's the point of showing them.
JimSpence
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
I just read your post at #1.205 and I just wanted to congratulate you on how well you captured, in succinct words, the mindset and attitude of the liberal/progressive left. BTW, I don't know how many people know this from history, but the Progressive party is the newer and more "people friendly" name for the old Communist Party, which makes your statement even more appropriate!
REALLY PEOPLE! For the last six months every Democrat out there has been taking cheap shots at Mitt Romney because of his faith... Do you think that was any less outrageous! You've been degrading his wife because she chose to stay home and raise her family.. Since when has ensuring your kids have a consistent, stable upbringing a crime in this country?!.. You idiots have demanded Mitt Romney release more tax returns than the Presidential Campaign requires.... Mitt Romney has released the last two years and all the years as governor. Yet, your not satisfied.. If that's not a Democratic "Witch Hunt"; then I don't know what is.... Governor Romney has had to endure more double standard media and Democrat attacks, that any prior candidate.. Much of which was un-called for and hitting below the belt.
You people have mud slung every "White" joke out there at Mitt Romney and he has taken them with grace. The minute anyone calls out Obama's shortcomings and pitfalls you call us "Racist"; ignoring the fact that Obama isn't "Black"; his mother was "White"; which makes Obama multicultural or mixed race..
Like it or not... the birth certificate comment was funny... because it called out the intense prior public interest on the subject, and the extremes people went to... Romney hasn't said anything in the campaign, that Obama and all of you first haven't slung mud at.. Instead of tearing Romney down for campaign joke; perhaps you should be asking yourselves why Obama went to so much expense and trouble sealing every personal, business, educational, political and travel record, not only for himself, but his mother as well. Someone doesn't spend the millions Obama has spent sealing every record unless he has something serious to hide....So you know what you can do with your double standard...
You Obamabots are so desperate, you've dug up an old Ryan "black girlfriend" from, what 15-20 years ago in college. Of course, since the media pointed out this shows Ryan to be "open-minded and "judges people by their character, not the color of their skin."; you detractors are back-peddling on the issue, because it didn't get the reaction and steam you were looking for....
What you should be seeking accountability for... isn't a joke, similar to many Obama has been throwing around about Romney. You should be asking yourself how you plan to pay off the 7+ Trillion Obama has added to the national debt in almost four years, or the increase of our national debt to 22+ Trillion by 2021 under Obama's projected budgets. You should be asking yourselves when Obama has total control of the Congress for the first 2 1/2 years and passed every piece of legislation he wanted; why our economy and nation is in worse shape today... You should be asking yourself why Obama sues states rather than enforcing Constitutional Laws.. Laws he took and oath of office to uphold and sustain.. If you don't agree with a Constitutional law, you repeal or amend it... Obama has been making his own immigration rules and laws as he goes along....
You should be asking yourself why Obama told companies not to take their business to Nevada, which has one of the highest unemployment percentages in the country. You should be asking yourselves why our unemployment has consistently been the highest for the last 40 months, since WWII. Home foreclosures are still riding high. Obama has shown no real allegiance to our ally Israel. Oh, he signed a token friendship agreement recently to undermine Romney's visit to Israel, somewhere Obama can't find the time to visit, on his numerous Middle East Visits.. Obama has shown extensive support to Anti-Israel states such as Palestine and Egypt... Why aren't you asking Obama, "why he bows to leaders of other countries and openly states his embarrassment and apologizes for America when overseas?" Obama has been doing this since 2008 and no wonder foreign powers see Obama as weak in he international arena. Why aren't you asking yourselves why Obama has projected one of the weakest international Fair Trade Agreements in decades? Obama has done nothing to bring American jobs home and even out the unequal US export taxes and tariffs our products are hammered with abroad; while he continues to allow overseas imports to flow into this country like water... Why aren't you asking yourselves, why is Obama cutting our military strength so drastically when China, and countries like North Korea are working around the clock to build up their armies.. The only safety America has is in military numbers.. A strong military means a safe nation... plain and simple...
These are all questions you should be asking Obama to answer, rather than once again listen to his pretty speech, airy promises and singing in the wind... You want a blue print of what the next four years under Obama will be... Look at the last four years... Actions speak louder than words, and Obama's Presidential record is dismal....
Is Romney perfect... NO.. However, he is the only one offering a detailed energy package, a detailed step by step policy to balance the budget in ten years without stripping our military. Romney is the only one who understands how the economy works, because he has owned his own business and know what it takes to create jobs. Romney doesn't believe the government should steal funds from Medicare to fund ObamaCare. FYI, Medicare is a trust fund paid into by voter payroll taxes, it is not an"entitlement" as Obama calls it. It was unconstitutional to allocate almost 700 Billion taxpayer trust account funds to fund a government controlled Obama-Care program.. And news flash people.. Another lie by Obama... Obama-Care IS A TAX! OBAMA'S ATTORNEY'S ADMITTED THAT IN COURT.... Individuals and small business will face mandated payroll tax increases for Obama-Care coverage.. Let's see how long you have your jobs, when your employer has to start paying these fees soon....
Bottom line, Romney has offered a detailed plan, and demands just doesn't ask for accountability from voters, on getting this country on track... Obama hasn't offered anything of value except four more years like the last four years.... Burying your head in the sand won't stop the economy decline this country is in. Obama might be the legacy your willing to allow your grandchildren and great grandchildren to pay for.. But, I love my family too much to do that to them... Wake up people. How many chances do you think you will get before you destroy the Constitution and economic stability of this country....
It's time to send Obama back to Chicago and undo the damage he's created in Washington and this nation.. It's time to choose wisely people.. It's time to put words into actions and choose a President who actually has the experience of turning the economy around, because his record shows he has done that in the past with the Olympics, Governor and as a business owner...
It's time to wake up from the Obama dreams and look at the Obama reality.... It's time to choose Romney/Ryan in 2012....
Ronzwyf,
You are a nightmare and need to wake up. Dreams can tell you that you have deep psychological problems that favor the rich and right wing Nazi's in the new Nazi Republican party!
Why do I call it that?
1930 Nazi Germany!
1. Nazi's ran fake Christian Democrats to confuse voters. (Wisconsin 2012-Nazi Republicans ran fake Democrats in the recall. It failed as three republicans were tossed out of the Senate.
2. Nazi Germany created PACS to fund elections so that the rich industrialists could get there way and make profits from war. Robert's Supreme Court creates PACS. 2011
3. Nazi Germany creates Voter IDS to prevent their opposition from voting by offering confusion as to how to get an ID. (Wisconsin att. general (rep.) Van Holland trying to get Voter ID back after two judges ruled it unconstitutional. In the short time Register of Deeds in all counties have said it would create utter confusion in a November Election.
Signs are there, but will we learn?
This message is from Harley Chick, The Dems are our only "REAL" hope of taking back our Liberty that the Right-Wing Nutty Conservative Crazy Tea Wackos has taken away from us !!!
The radical right is destroying our Country !!!
Ronzwyf
You are spewing some really crazy stuff here. Mitt Romney has never been attacked by Democrats for being Mormon. One of the most respected Democrats in the Senate, the Senate Majority Leader - Harry Reid is a devout Mormon, with the Book of Mormon in his office right off the Senate floor. He is loved and respected by his colleagues on both sides of the aisle and the LAST thing any Democrat would do is make derogatory statements about the Mormon religion. There has not been one "mud-slinging" effort against Mr. Romney because he is of Mormon faith.
Romney has never put a single economic plan forward and even the Ryan budget has been kept from the CBO - which is a non-partisan organization of economist, because they don't want holes poked in it publicly prior to the election. And the only person to call Mitt Romney a "racist" was the Palestine Leadership at a conference in Israel where he made derogatory remarks regarding the Palestine people. You can't go on TV and call the President of the United States of America a "food stamp President" and make a statement "I'm not concerned about the very poor" and not have people make judgements about what is coming out of your mouth. And blaming Democrats for "digging up Paul Ryan's ex-girlfriend who was black". That is also untrue....it was Romney's own VEEP Vetting team who released that information in hopes it would show Paul Ryan as a being "racially tolerant" because Romney is not polling well with certain ethnic groups.
So before you go off on another ridiculous tangent....please get some facts straight. And before you place anymore judgements on "Obama Care" The Affordable Health Care Act, please do some research on the "Romney Care" Medical Care Act put in place by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts which he considered his biggest accomplishment while serving as Govenor. Look at what that legislation did for Massachusetts and then look at the ACA......pretty similar.
Patriotic American U.S.A. Thank you.....well said, and Ronzwyf is a prime example of how crazy they are.
I am an Obama supporter. Separately, I am also 100% atheist. I'm not expecting applause here; I just thought I should get both of those facts out in the open before I say the following.
Every now and then in my life, I get these "special feelings". They have ALWAYS come true. They are truly unlike normal feelings or observations I may have or make, which are admittedly often wrong. It has happened 10 or 12 times total, and I felt the first one about 40 years ago. It's almost like the feeling is inserted into my brain, rather than something I came up with on my own. Not sure how else to describe them.
One time I was driving on I-5 in Oregon and passed a sign for "Wilsonville". The thought just popped into my mind that Wilsonville was going to have some special significance for me someday. It turned out years later that it did, in a personally important way I could have never expected or anticipated. An old female friend had moved there from across the country, 3000 miles, at almost the exact same time I saw that sign. Sure, it could be a coincidence, but she had told me 25 years earlier that she was staying on the east coast forever. She moved to within 200 miles of my house, and still lives in Wilsonville. We hadn't spoken or communicated at all in at least two decades. I had been absolutely bananas over this woman, while still a young man.
Another time, I was sharing a large table at a bar with strangers and friends alike, watching the Seahawks game. Shouting, yelling, etc. All of a sudden, I just blurted out from nowhere that the next play was going to be a very unlikely interception of the opposing team's QB. People looked at me like I was crazy. Within five seconds, it happened. Then they were REALLY looking at me funny. Yes, the game was live on broadcast TV.
That's how these things go. This morning, I looked at a photo of a smiling Romney and one of those feelings happened. He isn't going to win. If I'm wrong on this, it will be the first time one of these feelings has ever been wrong. I'm sure of it, not that I expect anyone else to be.
I am now relaxed about the election. Let 'er rip, Romney, you have no chance.
@aquatone
How strange! I have had the same exact thought every time I have driven on I-5 past Wilsonville for the past 40 years; that it was going to have some special significance for me someday.
Where my story deviates from yours is ........... so far, NADA!
40 years and NADA! Hey, wait. THAT'S significant, isn't it?
-
;-) Ha; I couldn't resist
PS. Seriously, though, call me. I want to discuss next Saturday's Megabucks numbers with you. I'm in the book.
Amazing what little can get Barry in a tizzy-fit............... anytime someone questions him.... he cannot take it...... it's no wonder that his hair is turned gray...........
@ paplov28667 #1.172
Why do you think he ordered ICE not to deport certain illegals?
It's funny if you are an absolute bonehead who laughs at the very same joke over and over again for four years. News flash, bonehead ...... you will be able to laugh at the same lame joke for EIGHT YEARS!
Dumb Farm Boy, For someone who"claims" not to believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, why do you continue to bring it up?
The Republican governor of Hawaii has said Obama's birth certificate is legitimate and on file just like any other Hawaiian's.
You reduce the credibility of your other arguments when you spout this birther nonsense.
And you distract from other more important, substantive issues we should be thinking about.
I recall an academic debate a few years back about adding more curriculum requirements such as economics and political science to the requirements for an engineering degree. While you may be well educated in Mechanical Engineering, it's likely that you did not have the time to take more than an introductory economics class or English class. Knowledge helps prepare us for life. Disinformation is the enemy of knowledge.
So, as far as I now know, there's STILL only one person in/from Oregon that I admire and respect.
@ shaak322 #1.224
First of all, IT WAS JOKE, "Why do you think...) DUH! What you don't think conservatives can tell jokes?
And a RINO declares Obama's birth certificate to be on file and legitimate. Since when is a politician a reliable source of information? ;-)
And you also missed my point, I believe Obama was probably born in Hawaii, as advertised (I do have a little faith in the Secret Service). But there is still enough evidence, and credible evidence, to cast doubt. It may only be a .01% chance, but until he comes clean with other records, how can I be 100% certain? Did Barry Soetoro receive "foreign student" status?
Like I said before, when you ask Obama to unseal his Occidental Records and Fast and Furious, I'll ask Mitt for more tax returns and we'll see who's hiding what, if anything.
Your statement about academic studies would seem to imply that since I only have a BSME, I am ignorant of these other topics. I might mention, one does not have to go to college to learn things. I have read numerous books on both topics mentioned as well as others and have a full life of experience to rely on (which is usually a more reliable source of fact than college).
As a small business owner, and given my experience with academia, I think I have a better handle on economics and political science than your average college professor, who has only academic experience.
But I agree with your statement,
I have said this before though, "It seems the more we delve into the information age, the less we are informed" Whether it be outright fabrications from both sides, or the purposeful distortion of a story to fit someone's agenda.
WHOOPS!
There IT is!
When the going gets tough... blow the racist dog whistle to the all white crowd!
As much as this tactic disgusts me, I hope Willard continues to pander to the ignorant birther base from now until election day!
Willard already has those votes locked up & will turn off moderates & independents in droves!
Real classy way to keep the focus on the economy... Willard...
Yup.. what a puke~!! This Romney fella just has no class; The donald must have gotton to him to be using birther wingnut ideology. Oh wells... he can't sink any lower.
Please explain to me how his comment was racist in any way. Please be specific. I'm curious how you've spun that into racism. Perhaps you are the racist?
Dog whistle....everyone can hear it Willard!..Unbelievable rhetoric from someone wanting to be President! I'm at a lost to even describe my feelings......Willard is a racist (Birther) running for the presidency!
NO!
You explain to me what his comment meant!
We know EXACTLY who he was targeting - you playing dumb doesn't change a thing!
Watch the reaction from his ALL white audience!
No kidding! I can't believe their line-up! Romney is a certifiable (your choice) with that comment. His gloves are totally off and he is definitely the champ of snarky nasty campaigning! And people actually attend his events to listen his wimpy spiel. GAG!
I'm scratching my head on that one, too, ca1.
LOL, Here is "MYTH" Romeny's energy policy.

4 more 4 44
Obama/Biden 2012
Dog whistles.
Shoot, with such a great record why doesn't Obama just tell us about all the great things he has accomplished?
Well at least Obama is not engaging in a nasty campaign.
No one's asked Romney for his college transcripts either. So what's the difference between birth certificates and college transcripts versus tax returns? Legitimacy...and that's why it's racist. No one denies Romney has a legitimate right to run for president but they sure as hell deny President Obama has the right to hold the office!
By joking about birth certificates, Romney contrasted his own legitimacy to Obama's, and that's racist.
Feisty - I don't think commonamerican was PLAYING dumb. Just sayin...
Obama/Biden 2012
Feisty, is this your Harry Reid defense?
And Spanky, Obama has been negatively campaigning since he first ran for office in Chicago. It's how he was taught.
Don't object if Mitt fires a couple of shots back across the Obama bow now and then, Obama has it coming.
common and Oscar - I think fisty has racist on the brain and she posted that comment out defense for Obama, couldn't edit it as it was too late when realized, and now has to tell YOU to figure it out. Fisty can't. It may expose the true "Lib of the Year" and we cannot have racist talk out of that side.
Well I know the little re-reg is dumb enough to believe he can sneak back in without getting caught!
Tick... tock... troll!
Willard Mitt-Wit Romney is a very dangerous man and we all know he is a A LYING POS, RACIST, WOMAN HATING, TAX CHEATING, OUTSOURCING TRAITOR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
There goes ol' Willard - whistling past the kennel again.
I guess that's what you have to do to get folks from focusing on your Koch-approved energy policy.
Hey Willard, you've got a little light, sweet crude still on the corner of your mouth - you might want to wipe that off before everyone notices.
Do you every notice that Willard always looks like he has butt cheek burns on his face.
commonamerican1
Please explain to me how his comment was racist in any way. Please be specific. I'm curious how you've spun that into racism.
It wouldn't make a difference because people like you who thrive off 's racism don't have the ability to comprehend any damn thing; just like broke ass Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has a negative
That's rihgt the Fox tail head hunter is an empeo rwith no clothes
http://www.wehaitians.com/what%20he%20really%20worth.html
I also suspect that Mitt Romney never applied for college under the name Barry Sorento or has a SSN issued from the northeast (i.e., Connecticut) like the current fraud in the Oval Office.
NOBAMA 2012!
.
Uh...my first question would be to ask you how you (or anyone else out there) has seen the President's Social Security Number.
Aside from that, however, you are aware that this has been debunked, yes?
commonamerican1 you should change your name to commonamerican2, in case you don't know what that means,please go to the bathroom,you might get rid of some of it.
hey john'prove it show me the proof.come on,I dare you.you republicans are liars and tell half truths and never back up what you are saying,and when called on to prove it......well enough said......loser witless romney
Just more Racist Neo-Nut Right Wing Drones Conservatives going on with their crazy Rush talk
John - 200.... When you continue to spout the lies that have been debunked over and over you just look - well - Republican. And, that's NOT a compliment!
Obama/Biden 2012
you are one of the most offensive little twerps that ever existed. You want to sling mud go right ahead but your nick-name is beyond the pale. You must have the mentality of a 12 troll, you obnoxious, noisome little jerk. I can't believe they continue to let you say that over and over again on this public forum.
What a worthless piece of sh*t
The good news is he does not build any new support with that junk, he already has those people, but it will motivate more democrats, and independents will not be impressed about his referral to that nonsense. He better have something better than that if he is going to sweep the swing states.
They are fully aware, and will repeat the lie anyway. What else have they got? more reheated Bush era policies to roll out, and some new ways to legislate their Christian Sharia ideology into the constitution, even though doing so violates the first amendment's denial of founding a state religion.
Yet they are the ones who love and uphold the constitution... Their ignorance would be funny if it wasn't so frightening...
@commonamerican1
It's obvious you never had a history class, well let me (An African American) School your retart azz)
After they freed the slaves each one of them was required to walk around with papers to prove they were free. Anyone caught without papers went to jail for the purpose of building the rail road. After a period of time it was found out millions of freed slaves were jail illegally and 92% of those were jailed died.
My great great great grandfather was one of the freed slaves that was put in jail to build the rail roads and died in jail.
End of Lesson
So take your sorry non-history learning azz and go vote for reversible mittens romney.
Zero Black Votes
62% Old White men votes
20% Women votes
31% Hispanic
= One Big AZZ AZZ whipping
How in the F-N you get Zero% Black votes?
Answer: Be Mitt Racist Romney
solutions - "millions of freed slaves were jail illegally and 92% of those were jailed died."
Wow. Thanks for the imaginary history lesson. About as accurate as your predictions of the future.
Just three days before the Republican National Convention, it's absolutely clear what Mitt Romney's true agenda is - and EXACTLY why it is that he loves the trees in Michigan so much: bit.ly/MQRWx1
Watching Romney with these crowds is like watching 'Borat'.
Wow! Romney's not even elected yet and already Job1 is showing symptoms of RDS (Romney Derangement Syndrome).
Sorry, the SSN issue has hardly been "debunked". Try to get some news from places OTHER than MNSNBC.
http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/obamas-social-security-number-challenged/
Perhaps you can explain who Barry Sorento is vs. Barrack Obama.
Can you explain how Obama was able to afford a $1.6M house in Chicago as a recent college graduate?
Maybe you can explain how the Washington Post was able to find one person who witnessed Romney help haze a HS Student but they can't seem to locate anyone who ever attended class with Obama in Columbia or his dope smoking friends in Hawaii.
It's odd that the liberal media aren't interested in finding the drug dealers who sold Obama the "blow" that Obama talks about using as a college student.
Thankfully the American people are waking up from the "Irrational Exuberance" that allowed the election of the most incompetence and ill prepared person into the Presidency.
NOBAMA 2012!
.
Well, atleast no one is calling the other a murderer yet........hmmmm.
This is small, both of him to say, and for you liberals to target as 'news'. The media should, instead, continue to insist that we hear conversations on policy. That would be refreshing during a presidential debate.
Also, you race baiters should be quite.....the war has been over for years.
Wow, someone should call the authorities on Job1. We may see him in the next gun related headline if not.
Job,
How, exactly, did you become this freaking nuts over conservatives?
spanky " Well at least Obama is not engaging in a nasty campaign"
Why thank you spankster for saying that. Thats so refreshing to hear that coming from you. There is the republican/tea party quote of the day and look who its coming from. The queen of the republican/tea party. Now all of you good republican/tea party members look who is leaving the republican ship. LMFAO!!! Remember you said it. Thank You!
WorldNetDaily??? Yeah, well THERE'S an unbiased source for you.
Come on, John, you've got to be smarter than that. An internet report that someone is filing a challenge about the President's SSN is supposed to be proof???
...and again, it begs the question...how does one obtain the President's Social Security Number?
John - idiot! The SSN number has been debunked over and over, by the Social Security Administration - as has your entire post. Try SNOPES and look at the lies you've posted. You're actually too stupid for words!
Obama/Biden 2012
Da Noid:
And your sophomoric response to the other issues I commented on are??????
The GOP is full of ignorant racist traitors whose only loyalty is to their corporate masters (corporations are people, my friend) and their overlord, for whom they signed their oath, in blood, Grover Norquist.
I don't know which is worse, to be a Republican and thought of as stupid, or to be a Republican and thought of as a brain dead Zombie.
ZOMBIES for Romney/Ryan 2012 !!!!!
Your other issues are not worthy of a response...not so long as you are going to be gullible enough to believe that an average citizen can get the President's Social Security Number. I'm sorry but you're not allowed to just make s*** up like that.
Feisty...
You don't really need to be concerned for the votes of the people you call "ignorant"...President Obama already has a good majority of those votes locked up. Maybe not as many as in 2008, but he's got the 'ignorant' vote well in hand.
Why would anyone with Half of a brain read this above trash RAG?
faux helped bush and cheney lie our country to war. Your hero ryan voted to send our men and women to their deaths for that lie. Then Ryan would have you believe that he is capable of leadership.
President Obama released 8 years of taxes when he was running and has released taxes every year since then, so I guess he has already released 10 years of taxes.
You have to turn in paperwork to prove you are eligible to be president when you run for office. President Obama turned in all the legally required forms to prove he was a citizen.
But Mitt the twit is much too much of a coward to release the same 8 years that President Obama did. So we are asking for 5 years and Mitt the twit can't even do that.
First his reason was because the big bad democrats were going to pick on him and now Romney wants to hide behind his church as the reason we can't see his taxes. Romney hiding behind his cult church, now isn't that cute?
One birth certificate was not enough for the republicans but we are supposed to be satisfied with one year of Romney's tax returns. Romney has been caught lying about his taxes before, just why are we to trust him?
If taxes are so personal then why have all the people running for president released them? If Romney can't stand the heat and be a man like other presidential candidates then he needs to get out of the kitchen.
If Romney is man enough to be president, I suggest he start acting like it and release his taxes like everyone else has who wanted to be president since his dad set the precedent.
All I can say it must be a doozy that Mitt the twit is hiding in his taxes.
commonamerican1:
Very simple. It was a blatant appeal to the "birther" crowd, whose conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace would never have existed if he were white.
If you need any other obvious things explained to you, I'm happy to help.
tony - look at news98 - the GOP is the idiot haven for this election. How embarrassing to have people like him, John, in the middle, pjam, harley chic and you voting for your party. The GOP has sunk to a new low and you typify that low!
Obama/Biden 2012
Man, Romney can't help but put his foot in his mouth. He certainly didn't want this to be in the news cycle the weekend building up to the RNC. For people not normally engaged this will be the first story they will see. You know there will be a loop of, Is Mitt a Birther? reports. No, but he welcomes their support. He should have stuck to talking about the trees and other woodland creatures.
If he would have any sense he would know to talk about the economy. Not saying his ideas will work, but get off the conspiracy crazy talk. Who is advising this guy, thankfully from my perspective you are losing him independent votes.
Barry & Co cannot handle the heat of REAL scrutiny...... maybe one day, history will tell the real story of how Obama got elected...... if we can still speak without being throw into jail.................
Steve, Obama has been scrutinized, vilified, hated, and lied about for 5 years, and so far has shrugged most of it off. I really don't think anythng new is going to happen.
Steve - I can tell you now how President Obama got elected. The majority of US citizens voted for him as opposed to the man who said our country had no problems with the economy - you know, McCain/Palin. President Obama's staff did the best "get out the vote" job ever.
He was funded by more individuals giving $25 or less than any other President in history because he and his campaign staff were smart enough to use the internet.
He appealed to and appeals to the masses because he did and can talk intelligently without talking down to people. He is likable and genuinely wants to do what is right for this country.
And he is heads above the garbage the GOP is running again this year!
And, the list goes on and on but you don't really want to know!
Obama/Biden 2012
John-2006106
Got any verification for your claim of a $1.6M house? Huh? Where did that come from?
What Romney said is simply being blown out of porportion to suit the desperate liberal media. I am so amused at the name calling and insults liberals resort to when they know their argument is bull@!$%#. Face it, BO is a @!$%#ing failure and he is one and done. When you can prove Romney broke the law I'll listen, until then you are just making fools of yourself. Now, where is Obama hiding all those jobs?
John - you're a moron and insist on showing it. President Obama graduated from Harvard Law Shcool in 1991. He worked in the legal profession and taught Constitution Law at University of Chicago. He bought his home in June, 2005 and has a large mortgage on it. I would hardly say that is "shortly after graduating."
Any other stupid comments????
Obama/Biden 2012
FR:
Oh, come on. There was nothing "inadvertent" about it. Stupid, yes. Inadvertent, no. He was deliberately pandering to the racists he needs to get to the polls. He just forgot how hateful it would make him sound to reasonable people. The Republican convention is even going to give speaking roles to birther nuts Sherrif Joe Arpaio. That's not inadvertent, either.
Mitt has got to tone down the dog whistles; he's blowing them so loud now that humans can hear them.
Griff: " I am so amused at the name calling and insults liberals resort to.."
So amused, that you feel the need for name calling and insults in reply.
Garrett Haake:
FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT.
It's predictable that the clown who wrote this article equates Obama's rather lame joke about the dog on the car to Romney's blatant appeal to the racist birther movement. Let us know when Obama makes a magic underpants joke about Romney, and then you might fairly say the same level of bigotry was involved.
And of course, if Obama did make such a deplorable comment, the corporate media wouldn't point out that Romney had also made bigoted remarks, like the one about birth certificates. The equivalency never works in the opposite direction.
Also, Michelle had a high paying job.
Except that Borat is funny.
I'm very dissapointed in the people posting here. There are real racists out there and you are diluting the word. When you tie the term racist to the controversy of the location of someone's birth you are doing a great deal of harm when a real racist commits a hate crime. I do not agree he should have said what he said, but the way you all are reacting is highly immature and damaging to the minorities here that have to deal with racists everyday.
@Feisty
Playing the race card I see, how pathetic. The race card is reserved for hateful bigots like yourself that cannot support a real argument, so you pull it out and end a conversation that your losing. Socrates said it best:
"When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser"
You Feisty.....are the loser.

Oh, get off it. Birthers know that Obama was born in the U.S. They just like to call him a "Kenyan" because the N word will get them in trouble because of all the terrible liberal political correctness that's oppressing the Sons of the Confederacy.
And nobody's calling Romney a racist. He's just a race baiter. Big difference. The only color Romney cares about is the color of money.
Seeking...
It must be very difficult for you to live in a world where so many of your fellow Earthlings are "stupid", "ignorant", or "garbage". I don't know how you cope with it all. However, with your ability to get folks to alter their previously conceived notions and convert them into big Obama supporters, perhaps you can find a way to "bundle" those potential votes and use that bundle to get yourself an actual White House visit...the President might even agree to give you a soothing back rub or foot massage for all the good you've done in converting voters with your sound and gentle reasoning.
Enjoy !
Hey John, when President Obama's mother moved with him to Indonesia and married an Indonesian, what did she change her last name to? Do you believe it is uncommon for a young child to adopt the name of his/her stepfather while going to school? Do you have anything between your ears besides sawdust?
OMG!!! Mitt Romney made one insignificant comment about birther not naming anyone and all of sudden he is the bad guy. Nobody is looking at the dirty campaign ad that the Democrats is advertising on TV, that Mitt is a murderer, a felony, tax invasion, and he is against women health care. This is just a bunch of lies from the Democrats to confused the public because the Obama Administration doesnt have much to run on to be re elected in 2012.
'No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate'..with this claim by Romney..maybe someone should ask to see his...after all..he is sure hiding more than most any politican want to be that I have seen in years...and has no problem making statements that have already shown to be untrue.
The GOP is a very rich and powerful political party with unlimited resources. If President Obama's birth certificate was fake, they would have proven it long before he was elected President.
And if his certificate is fake, and the Republicans cannot prove something as simple as that, why should we think that the GOP is capable of solving American's really difficult problems?
You are the confused one Penny W. God help us all if Mitt and Co is elected to the presidency.
The Rep party is a little bit wacky. They pretend to stand for Christianity but certainly do not behave like it.
Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Who say that?
Oh John - stupid again. President Obama HAS released 10 years of tax returns.
Tony - if you read the posts by your fellow Republicans on this site and don't think they're moronic, that says everything about you - and none of it good. If you're honest - which clearly you're not - you'll admit they are disgraceful in their continued attacks against the President's heritage; college; etc. But, you're okay with that?
Of course you are!
Obama/Biden 2012
have you seen the newsweek cover. even they think obama should go
Typical bully! Coward and hitting low, stabbing people in the back! What an a***e is Mitt Romney.
No wonder he has 0% of the black vote.
He is pleasing his RACIST BIGOT crowds of RED NECKS!!!!
He has been wanting to say something offensive all along! He finally got his wish! COULD THE REAL MITT ROMNEY PLEASE STAND-UP????
We can see how his visit to the NAACP was a JOKE. a*****e
What low life scum you are Mitt. You are trying imply that the state of Hawaii lied and that the birth certificate the Obama family provided is false? You and Donal Trump deserve each other. Millionaire, billionaire idiots! Please don't complain if there are negative ads. against you after this one!
Tony - why don't you call out the posters here like Steve? Oh, that's right - you have no problem with his incessant and ridiculous attacks on the President because he is a Republican like you. See how that makes your post insignificant and questionable, at best. Can you say HYPOCRITE???
Obama/Biden 2012
Mitt, we've seen Obama's birth certificate now several times how about more than 2 years of your tax records and information on your millions in off-shore accounts?
Give it a rest already people. You people will complain about anything. Have you nothing better to do? Many of the people on this newsvine are the most hypocritical and judgmental on the planet.
What cave have you been hiding in the past year and a half?
Where ever it is, I see your cable provider carries NewsforDumbFux!
When the Obamatrons run out of meaningful arguments (which does not take long) all they have left is racism. Pathetic......
Of course!!! It is always "insignificant" what the GOP SAYS OMG to you!!! IF PRESIDENT oBAMA HAD SAID IT, YOU WILL ON HIM TELLING ALL KINDS OF INSULTS!!!!!
And FOX continues saying that Obama is runing "A NASTY campaign" Do you guys ever listen to YOURSELVES? YOU ARE ubelievable!!!!!
I like how these obama drones bring out the dog jokes. They might want to be careful about doing that though. While Romney's dog might have been on top of the car, he was never on top of the family menu. Too bad obama can't say the same. obama is lucky that that isn't hounding him. dems are barking up the wrong tree with that one. They might do better to just let that old dog lay. As the article stated, it was obama who started with the cheap shots. Now they are upset??? It is so sad to see how obama is tearing our great country apart.
This is the new hope and change?
"Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Sen. Reid (D) from Nevada. I guess another redneck
Barry & Co can't even take a JOKE...... Hey JOE, why no outrage at your remarks?
If Barry had been subjected to the same type of attacks & ridicule that is thrown at conservative candidates, he'd never had made it past GRADE SCHOOL...........
Irespond ..who said this?
"I was trying to think about who he was tonight. And uh, it's interesting. He is post-racial, by all appearances. You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour....
first of all a persons ssn is private for obvious reasons it can not just be given out to the public. the social security administration made a statement that he does have one. to be a US citizen you dont even have to be born in this country as long as one of your parents are a US citizen. look at my cousin for example who was born in germany while my uncle was stationed there. so basicly all the birther rant is garbage.
What kind of reply is that? PLEASE ! That is PATHETIC!!!! Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan don't care at all for anybody that is not a "Christian Conservative" just llike them, and they put in high places stupid women like Sarah Palin and Ann Romney. What kind of preparation Ann Romney has? That she is RICH?
YEAH! THe GOP is AMAZING. Birthers, accusing President Obama of being a muslim, accusing him of being Socialist, ACCUSING HIM OF being "bad" with stay-at-home millionaire mothers, ALL THAT YOU ACCUSING HIM IS THE FACT THAT ALL OF YOU CAN'T STAND HIM, and you don't mind working like slaves for the GOP. I am sure that most of the people on these vines do not have the money that Mitt ROmney has, OR DONALD TRUMP.
OH!!!! BUT YOU praise them ALL THE WAY FROM YOUR TRAILER!!!!!!!!!
fiesty and all you other lockstep followers of Barry, Please Please point out to me how Romney's statement is racist? I though it was funny. Of course "good ole Joe's" statement "back in chains" and "Obama is a clean black" are not racist. I have yet to hear Barry talk about his accomplishments. All he is doing is trying to be funny and the mess he has got this nation in is not very funny. I'd like to know when Barry is going to start taking some blame. If he gets re-elected (God forbid) who is he going to blame then?
I would like to know which catagory you Barry subjects fall into. The smart one's that do not work and know that as long as they vote for him he will keep their welfare coming or the stupid one's that vote for Barry so he can take their money from them and give to the smart ones.
Irespond, pull your drawers out of your crack, your getting way too upset.
I don't know why anyone one would say he will get 0% of the black votes! It's kinda funny cause most of the black people I talk too wouldn't vote for Obama!
And what about those black teapart memebers??
Something as insignificant as skin color is all the lefties have to spout, and this after denouncing many conservative black public servants who are good men. I don't care if the communist cockroach currently occupying the White House was born under Lincoln's porch with the dog he ate, he's no American.
If producing the WORST overall economic results of ANY newly elected president in the past 60 years proves that Obama is a BAD president, then consider it proved. And, if anyone expects different results from simply doing more of the same things (a weak, unstable dollar, more “stimulus,” more regulations), they should look up Einstein’s definition of “insanity.”
Obama = Epic Fail!
Newt already summed up what the world thinks of Mittens...
He looted companies as head of Bain Capital
"Now you have to ask a question
- is that really, is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich
people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with
the money? Or is that in fact somehow a little bit of a flawed system? And so I
do draw distinction between looting a company, leaving behind broken families
and broken neighborhoods and then leaving a factory that should be
there."
He profits off the poor
"Maybe Governor Romney in the
spirit of openness should tell us how much money he's made off of how many
households that have been foreclosed by his investments."
He's out of
touch and thinks we're stupid
"We're not going to beat Barack Obama with
some guy who has Swiss bank accounts, Cayman Island accounts, owns shares of
Goldman Sachs while it forecloses on Florida and is himself a stockholder in
Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac while he tries to think the rest of us are too
stupid to put the dots together to understand what this is all
about."
He's not a conservative
"It's just like this pretense that
he's a conservative. Here's a Massachusetts moderate who has tax-paid abortions
in 'Romneycare,' puts Planned Parenthood in 'Romneycare,' raises hundreds of
millions of dollars of taxes on businesses, appoints liberal judges to appease
Democrats, and wants the rest of us to believe somehow he's magically a
conservative."
He's a liar
"Well, you seem shocked by it! This is a
man whose staff created the PAC, his millionaire friends fund the PAC, he
pretends he has nothing to do with the PAC - it's baloney. He's not telling the
American people the truth..." "I just think he ought to be honest with the
American people and try to win as the real Mitt Romney, not try to invent a
poll-driven, consultant-guided version that goes around with talking points, and
I think he ought to be candid. I don't think he's being candid and that will be
a major issue. "
Why do you people bring up the race card all the time (OwenCoffin). And why is evryone bit@h1ng all the time about Romney's tax returns. How soon ya'll forget that Obama did not release his birth certificate until August 27 of 2011, not even a year ago and almost three years into his presidency. Don't hear you raising hell about that cause your know it but don't want to admit it.
As long as there are the people who bring up racist this and racist that, this country will not change and we will never get along!
What the hell is wrong with you!
Houston!
"And nobody's calling Romney a racist."
See post 1.9 and many of the ones following that, then I will accept your apology. Please take a minute to read what I actually wrote, because the point of my post was to point out how those using the word "racist" in this context are creating a great injustice for those that actually have to deal with racism and are persecuted for their race - NOT presidential race.
Obama is a fer'ner! Obama faked the moon landing!
Obama stole my grandmother's teeth in the middle of the night!
These birthers crack me up. The whole world is chemtrails and HAARP to them.
13en
I'm that sorry Romney is a race baiter. OK?
Ya gotta love the way the hyper-sensitive, thin skinned, frothing at the mouth liberals see everyone as "racist" if you don't agree with their precious little liberal messiah.
Had it been a Republican that made Biden's chain comments, the hypocritical liberals would have been apoplectic.
I'm not a Romney supporter, but that doesn't change the fact that Obama has been an absolute disaster for this nation.
Just another one of the dozens of reasons I hold nothing but contempt and disdain for liberalism. It is a POS ideology based on emotions, lies, delusions and fantasy, practiced by corrupt people who think, (with the exceptions of abortion, gay marriage and recreational drug use), that they have the right to control everything else in your life through government.
Never forget: Liberalism - Ideas so good, they must be forced upon you.
You people that have that exorbitant amount of respect for Romney--go, people go nuts with the praise.
Do you think this guy got his money by working---or working the faults and the cracks in the system? You know the latter is true. He was quite the liberal as the Governor of Mass, yet were a Republican. He bragged of landmark Romneycare that benefits the people--as tax money should be. Now, he wants to distance himself from himself. Also, he was Pro Choice.
You folks are really desperate. You shoved Newt Gingrich as a favorite, then Cain, then Santorum--and Perry was in that ugly mix as a poll leader, and the result? I know evangelicals that are questioning themselves because they never considered the faith a cult--your own religous leaders, Pat Roberts and others, said so. Governor Perry said Mormonism is a cult. So, what does your spirituality tell you? Doesn't make a rats ass to me what religion a person belongs to because. If you have to have a god, cool by me.
I point only to the hypocrisy that you display by ignoring your beliefs. "The Suit" Romney is evil incarnate or some computer generated stiff that is agreeable and will do as the Koch Bros and Rove say.
This is how you righties are, make racist comments then cry when we call it what it is. If you dont want to talk about racism then for the sake of God quit spewing it constantly. Im sick and tired of hearing day in and day out you people spewing your hatred, calling him a monkey, unamerican, foriegn, muslim, anything but what he is and then come here whining that we think you are racist. Until you can stop I will continue to call it like I see it and right now you are all a party of women hating, latino hating, senior hating, black hating racists.
Lets see how many old white men are out there to get Romney elected. Since that is the only demograph you want in your party.
ConservativeNotRepublican - You are racist because you are repeating FOX talking points and anybody who repeats FOX talking points like "Obama is a disaster for this country" is a certifiable moron, closed minded, racist, fascist, idiotic freak.
At one time I didn't think anyone in politics could be a bigger pile of garbage, filth, scum and lies than Newt Gingrich. I was wrong. Mitt Romney tops Newt. Romney will say anything, tell any lie, appeal to any hate merchant and take any position on any issue if he thinks it will give him one more vote than it will cost him. This latest appeal to the worst in people the dying gasp of a pathetic , despicable, desperate candidate.
Don't be hypocrite. You want black voters living in your plantation keeping poor and depending of food stamps, Latinos dreaming about amnesty, seniors freaking out about their benefits, woman scaring about their vagina. You can do anything for a vote.
Penny ...
The "murderer" ad never aired and it was a PAC ad (which the President did NOT support!). And yes, little one, Romney is against women's health care and wants to repeal AHA and align himself with Ryan who thinks that rape is something that a woman just has to deal with. And you're voting for that party???????????
Yeah, and about time too.
Mitt wants to take the high road, but Obama's blocking the exit while playing gutter politics.
Yep, Mr. Obama keeping it classy there.But I guess they may as well regurgitate the dog on the roof story. The tax thing is losing steam. Gotta laugh at the desperation.
Given Obama's propensity for eating dogs, I find it ironic they criticize when Romney packs a lunch.
The pride of the republican/tea party is on here today. I'll bet you all make your mama's proud. Thank You!
When 'birther' is all you got, you beat that drum til the stick breaks.
Smitty - what's really frightening is that this group - Spanky, commonamerican, etc., - IS the pride of the GOP! They're all that's left - a bunch of ignorant, pale, stale, grumpy old perverts (GOP)!
How low a once great party has fallen!
Obama/Biden 2012
Actually seeking, Obama has assigned us here to make sure you continue to spew.
We're like secret shoppers to test your undying loyalty.
common - no, you're just ignorant and - well - common!
Obama/Biden 2012
Smitty, too funny when you lefties have the likes of Fisty and dirty Deb. Throwing stones from within the glass house is hypocracy at it's best....which is the only thing you are in 1st place these days.

No you're not.You are right wing, Fox Noise, stupid Briebart.com trolls.
Please explain to me how playing the "birther" card was an attempt to take the high road?
Clearly Liberals hate it when you point out their hypocrisy.
B.O. didn't release his birth certificate until late last year despite being a U.S. citizen being a REQUIREMENT to become president... yet they Libs sit around whining about tax returns which aren't required at all because they desperately need to distract the rest of the sheep from Obama's failures.
Obama refused to release a document that proves a presidential requirement (U.S. citizenship) AND still refuses to release his college transcript.
BS! Obama has released his Certificate of Live Birth, which is the official document in Hawaii, where he was born. His birth announcement appeared in the local newspaper. Mitt has never been asked to show his birth certificate because he was born white & rich and doesn't have a "foreign-sounding" name. Name one other president who's been asked to prove he was born here? Just because you didn't vote for him doesn't mean he's not a legitimately elected president.
Aw, poor Mittens. He so wants to be a good boy. But, darn it, they just won't elect him if he doesn't play in the mud!
Uh Daisy you obviously don't know Presidential history. Both Martin Van Buren and Chester Arthur had citizenship issues.
Wow Daisy you are a sharp one. (sarcasm)
He released it last year, not 3 +years ago when he was asked to during his campaign. Sound familiar?
P.S.
Obama was born half-white on a tropical island - gee what a rough childhood.
I can ask for anything, doesn't mean I will get it. How many presidents prior to Obama were asked for their birth certificate? Just curious.
SeekingSanity should be seeking a wider vocabulary, maybe one that does not require name calling in every sentence.
Otherwise, I think any small claim against Obama's citizenship is a non issue. He has the records to verify he is an American. The issues should remian the issues. He has failed financially, socially and legally. The economy is stagnant, he ignores the will of over half the nation, and will not enforce several of our laws faithfully. Stay on these issues, and he cannot win a second term.
Romney can't be worse/2012
@commonamerican1
If you call gutter politics reversible mittens vomiting racist language so be it.
pjam09: How is releasing a third, fourth, or fifth copy of a birth certificate AND having the Secretary of State and Governor of the STATE of a person's birth verify that a person was, indeed, born in the USA, required as part of the requirements to be President of the United States.
Oh, that's right, this guy happens to be black, that's the difference.
Willard Mitt Romney is a racist piece of poop who does not deserve a single vote.
Anyone who votes for him is just as ignorant.
The problem is, Obama's statment was actaully funny and subtle, Romney not so much. He needs to let his speech writers create his material and do less ad lib.
in the middle - my vocabulary is just fine. But, I call them as I see them and today the posts from the Republicans on this site have sunk from idiotic to gutter trash dumb. So, you guys elevate the "facts" and I'll use different language, understand????
President Obama kept this country from going into a Depression even while the GOP obstructed every thing to make things better.
We have had jobs growth - albeit small - each of 29 months. Our stock market has rebounded.
Your talk of half the nation is your opinion - only. Most of the nation puts the problems of our country squarely where they should be - on the obstructionist Congress. Try getting your facts straight.
Even Romney said private business is doing very well. What, now he lies? Well, yes, he actually does but not on this subject.
Obama/Biden 2012
Nice one drip...dirp...whatever. You see racism everywhere but in reality.....sad.
Dense---and Ignorant---Regurgitating-----Poop........shoveled to you by Obummer.
brutaltruth - another gutter dweller heard from. I'm surprised the GOP has room for all of you pieces of trash but I guess since everyone with intelligence and integrity left the party, there's room for all.
Obama/Biden 2012
Barry & Co have enough guard dogs to do their barking..... where is Joe anyway?
And the whimpy boy giggles as he says "No one has ever asked me for my birth certificate." You are such a funny guy. As funny as cancer. LOSER.
Watch the video of this SERVANT of Donald Trump bowing to his MASTER!!!!
Piece of crap!!! He is nothing but a turd!

ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo
OMG ...righties complaining about gutter politics ....gaffaw ....oh lord heheheheheehehehehehehehehehe
It used to be that i'd get angry at the rightie double standards...their rank hypocrisy ....their whiny made up talking points and hyperbole...
Now i just laugh at them cause i have realized that they are like an idiot child ....LOL
and JWAG - Obama does and should take credit for reversing the damage done by first the Bush and then the Shrub ...lmao ...oh and he got Osama remember ;-) ;-) ;-) and he didn;t even have to rappel down onto a battleship in full battle regalia to do so hehehehehe

GungaDin -- The most entertaining part of it is all the self-righteous, holier-than-thou, phony indignation from the righties about how how they ALWAYS take the high road and the liberals ALWAYS take the low road, when there are probably thousands of posts, by now, just for this one article, that prove the opposite. Like we won't notice.
Steve, Are you so stupid that you haven't seen the real stamped birth certificate on line first from the Sate of Hawaii and then the same thing from the Obama's? You must be blind as well as ignorant! It has been shown over and over!
Tell you what Governor Romney. If the certificate of live birth wasn't good enough for the President then why should it be good enough for you? You need to show us your real birth certificate! I would also like to know what date the vital statistices with your birth were printed in the newspaper and which newspaper. That is where the President's birth is found. Not on the pages where you pay the newspaper to print the information. Not the society pages!
You pander to the birthers with the "he's not one of us", "he is un-American". No one in your party has the backbone to stand up and tell these people the truth and you just egg them on. Just like at one of your Republican debates where none of you had the decency or backbone to thank a man who is in our armed forces fighting for the principles of our country, but happens to be gay, because everyone in the audience booed! You just stood there smiling.
Hey PJAM. I promise NOT to call you stupid. But, please try and recall one key fact. The GOP Governor of Hawaii CONFIRMED Obama's birth was in Hawaii when this whole issue came up. And, the Hawaii Gov was a staunch supporter of McCain. The lowlifes in the GOP still wouldn't let go (like some of your darlings this past year: Trump, Michelle Crockman, Sanitarium, Newt the Whore-monger, etc)...nevertheless, as soon as this was an issue, the GOP Gov of Hawaii put it to bed. Some of the Right-Wing were simply too stupid to note that. But, the stupidity of the Right Wing isn't news to the rest of us...
Oh -- you mean HYPOCRISY -- like Newt the Whore Monger, pointing the finger and shrieking at Bill Clinton about marital infidelity all that time!
Ah yes, the GOP speaks about HYPOCRISY from experience!
Ah...the sound of the right mewling and puking. Spinning and laying out their lies. Refreshing to see how well versed the trolls from the no nothing party are. All in all...what a sight. Grown people albiet mouth breathing droolers..who worship a man and his golden underwear. Wow...what a country!! Mitt the schitt can eat scat as far as I'm concerned. Liar and his liar minions.
Blame the TeaWackos in Congress for the 8.3% Unemployment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best post of the day, Kevin #3.32, "SALUTE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one questions where Mitt was born, BUT we are all starting to wonder when the "pod people" took over his mind and body.
Once again more left wing drivel that nobody is buying except the left wing faithful. Division and diversion. If you can keep people talking about dogs, taxes, Akin, and characterize the mildest of jokes as racism maybe they won't notice the miserable failure that the Obama administration has been. Keep entertaining yourselves, the election is November and this comment won't be remembered by anyone. At some point you have to start talking about substance or you lose.
wm - " we are all starting to wonder when the "pod people" took over his mind and body."
And you point fingers at and label people who wanted to see a birth certificate? Typical liberal.
Willard Mitt Romney is not a "pod person", he is simply a Republican: a racist traitor to his country whose only purpose in life is to make sure the wealthy have NO taxes, the middle class becomes poor and the poor DIE.
The intent of the GOP is to destroy the United States of America.
Again drip----er---ahh---dirp....nice drone-ism. That would be your president who wants to FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM AMERICA. What does that mean to you?????
The choice is a man that has succeeded in life or continue with the man we know NOTHING factual about.......
Steve-446003:
The facts about Obama have been cleverly concealed from you by putting them in places other than breitbart.com and FOX News.
As for Romney having "succeeded in life," he was born on third base and stole home, and people praise him for hitting a home run.
Not to mention he erased his hard drives and put beyond public access the papers concerning the only other job he's had - the Olympics.
Steve - if you know nothing about our President it is because you choose to know nothing. President Obama's life has been dissected more than any President in the history of this country.
For once, man up and admit you don't like him because he's black - because there can be NO OTHER reason for your stupid, slanderous comments about him. Everything about his life is out there in print - you choose to not believe because you hate the man.
That says more about you than it does about him - and none of it good!
Obama/Biden 2012
I would like to know why rich people think they succeed in life when they inherit money, coast to college a good one since their parents usually went there, get a cushy job because of their name and parental influence and then make some money while investing their fortunes. Succeeding is not the same as placeholding and it shows when you are up in front of people and appear clueless and entirely disconnected with reality. You think things like if you don't have money to college well then borrow it from your parents. Or I like it herebecause the trees are just the right height. Opposed to those tall ones in California and short ones in Florida and medium size ones elsewhere. And by the way those cookies look like they were made at the 711. Ooh I don't think I will eat them. Or I drive a truck while I am chasing those varmits (his word) while my wife just drives a couple of cadillacs. Mitt. We don't do varmits. We like our cookies. We don't pay attention to our trees. Sometimes we cut them down to heat our homes. We don't have a couple of cadillacs where we need elevators in the garage. And most of all we can't borrow from our parents because they are the ones paying for college to begin with. Did you just think we got our money from our inheritance? And duh where were we supposed to get the inheritance? How can a man in America think everyone has an inheritance? Mitt this may surprise you but very few do. And it might surprise you too but we hunt squirrels and rabbits and deer etc. We don't hunt varmits. Your ignorance shows in your words and stuff you say. And by the way I don't like people addressing me in a condescending manner. We have other uses for the word varmit.
Romneys back on the racist statements again. How can a black guy from Honolulu be a citizen? Come on Mitt you racist LDS cult member. If Obama was white would he be saying this?
Your religious upbringing and background is showing Mitt. Here's the facts.
The Morman Church is the most racist of all churches. They believed that if you were black you could only go to heaven as a slave or a servant. In the 1970s the LDS institutionalized racism. The IRS was threatening to cancel the churches non-profit tax exemt status because of their racist views. University sports teams were refusing to go their and compete in Utah.
A miracle happened. All of the sudden on June 6th 1978 a profit of the church said he had a revelation from God to end the practice of discrimination against persons of African - American heritage. The profit only had this revelation after the threat from the IRS of the church losing it's tax exemt status.
Romney: Believe In America (but invest most of your money elsewhere, like I do)
Mitt Romney can't discuss his taxes, can't discuss BAIN capital, can't discuss abortion, can't discuss his religion, BUT HE CAN MOCK PRESIDENT OBAMA WHEN HE FEELS LIKE.
HE IS KISSING DONALD TRUM'S A**** B I G T I M E.
You can see how LOW Mitt ROmney will go for MONEY. Do you think that he will HELP YOU WHEN HE AND PAUL RYAN SWINDLE YOU FROM SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE????
I bet we will see his tax returns as soon as Obama names the 57 states he visited. I'm still waiting for Obama to buy my vote. So far I cant believe in anything he's selling. Snake oil as he says.
Can you imagine the Republicans saying to Obama, "Never mind, Mr. President, we don't need to see your tax returns." ???
H Y P O C R I T E S
Hey Mitt I'm asking to see the tax returns and not the edited ones as well as your birth certificate. We have to make sure you weren't born in Mexico.
Hey Mitt, I like to see your College records and Dental records !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robme's father was Mexico !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mitt, I dont give a sh*t about your taxes!!! I just wanna know CAN you help america after Nobama put the whammy on it? Get a clue people!
Nobody's asked to see President Obama's tax returns.
Romney is a racist. We should thank him for finally admitting it.
What did Romney say that is racist?
Really Oscar?
Again with the ever presumptive "we" to his all white crowd . . . .
racist???.. here goes another delusional and stupid lib playing the race card because he or she can't talk about obozo's record......he is the worst president in our history......ROMNEY/RYAN
SharonBest - no one has asked to see Obama's tax records because he has released about ten years of tax returns. Mitt - not even one full year!
Feisty - we all knew Mitt would do the understated racism at some point. Is anyone really surprised?
Obama/Biden 2012
Let me ask the libs this...if there was some question about whether Obama had been born in England, is it still a racist comment?
I really believe you guys are the racist, and don't give Obama the credit most centrists do.
Nobody's asked to see President Obama's tax returns.
Bingo! And, just goes to show, Romney's sense of humor is just as crass as George W. Bush's. No wonder he couldn't avoid insulting the British at the Olympics. Can you imagine how he would embarass us on the national stage?
If not racist, it is at least xenophobic. Look it up, it's a big word. The connotation is quite clear.
My God you are digging. He was talking to people from M_I_C_H_I_G_A_N. "We" to include the people in the audience because presumptively, they were all born in Michigan too.
You guys just can't wait to pull that damned race card out of the deck and it is pathetic. You are all turning into Jess and Al.
Anyone who is a birther is a RACIST. Fact
talk to the hand ...pull that damned race card out of the deck......
Just like the republican/tea party does not use the race card. I love it when the republican/tea party people use there fake outrage. Your so picked on. I said this before. You like to talk it but when it comes back to you the crying begins. :-)
During the RNC in Tampa Animal Control will be on high alert!
Dog Whistles blowing every day, all day!
Get ready for it - this is just a preview of the birther-tastic convention next week.
I, for one, will turn the convention into a drinking game. Every time I hear some birther nonsense or other vieled racist remarks, I will take a shot. I suspect I will be drunk within the first hour, and I have a high tolerance (for alcohol, not racist ignorance).
Thank you, right wing nutjobs, for making your convention more entertaining than you literally thought was possible.
TiredofLies - make sure you have a designated driver with you - you're gonna need it!
Obama/Biden 2012
Commonam, Here's a question for you: Whatever will you do if Obama is elected for four more years? He really could be, you know. Why don't you think about an answer to that question for a while- some folks who think like you have contemplated moving out of the country if that happens. You might want to consider it.
SeekingSanity - I plan on staying home, locking the doors, and shutting the windows. I don't want the neighbors to think I've lost my mind when I start shouting.
I also will be putting away all loose objects. I'd hate to have to buy a new television after throwing a lamp at it in disgust.
Talk to the Hand: Romney's "Anglo Saxon" culture comments have the same connotation. We aren't playing the race card, but some of us "white people" know when the country club (or good old boy) crowd are playing to our sense of separateness, exclusiveness and entitlement. Just yesterday Romney dropped "bless his heart" to describe Obama. It's a left handed and southern put down. Tell me again, he's not racist?
B White -In reply, I'll do what I do every election cycle, work my rear off and try to provide as best I can for my family. It's time for the middle to make our views known. If we want to effect change, then we need to get involved and not leave it to large donors, make our voices heard and vote. We can change the country, but the best changes will come (in my view) if we find a way to get to the middle and lead from there.
My biggest concern about a potential (not necessarily likely) Obama reelection is that the country will remain polarized and the presidency will remain at odds with at least the House. That fear is driven by the fact that Obama has not proven himself a uniter, or a leader.
common - I believe you put the onus on the wrong person. President Obama reached across the aisle many times during his first year as President, not knowing that the first day he became President the Republicans met and vowed to do everything they could to block anything he tried to do in order to make him a one-term President. So, your reaction is to reward their treasonous activity and vote out our President instead of voting out every one of the GOP that put their party above our country?
How very Republican of you!
Obama/Biden 2012
The unfortunate thing is that the only way to combat racism is through education, and education is the enemy of the teabaggers
CHEERS Tired!!!
I'm not a racist.... but I am against STUPID..... and Barry has NEVER shown his intelligence........
Where are his papers? What did he write while in Harvard? Beyond what he "claims" in his books.... who is he really?
No one knows for sure................
Go MITT GO...............
commonamerican1:
That depends: would the question only exist because he wasn't the same race as every President before him?
I love how people say this was an all white crowd, even though it most likely was not. Not all Republicans are white, and for sure not all Michigan residents are white. The "we" in his statement clearly meant "Michiagan natives" and/or "his family when he was kid".
Libs are grasping at straws.
That said...if you vote for Romney or Obama you're voting for a sociopathic habitual liar who thinks its okay to subsidize your gas prices with the blood of innocent women and children abroad who are no threat to you or national security. Iran, 3rd year of Afghanistan to the present...all murder being cheerleaded for.
Stop voting for sociopaths.
Pro - we're not voting for a sociopath which is why we're not voting for Romney.
Obama/Bide 2012
Anyone who is a Mormon is a RACIST. Fact.
And republicans are grasping at a cultist with Magic Underwear.
Given the choices, I'll pick Obama/Biden. If for no other reason, to keep us away from the disastrous GOP policies that brought us this goddam Bush Recession in the first place!
I'm liking the new campaign slogan, "Romney 2012: Just Because He's White". That's gonna look good on t-shirts
Boy - Libs can't take a joke. And deadbeat (good name choice) I would dare you to provide a shred of evidence on any of your talking points. Sorry - I may have used words a bit too big for you. To restate, PROVE IT!
They will continue to ask to see your taxes, that is for sure.
Let's hope so Forrest!
Yes, nothing like highlighting their own hypocrisy and blatantly showing their lack of anything meaningful to campaign on. Please Democrats, keep crying about seeing a tax return.
Oh we sure will, because Mitt is going to keep that going with an article in Parade Magazine trying to explain why his business is none of our business, but nevertheless he will continue to "take the fifth". It is political poison for him and he knows it, he is spinning as best as he can, but the easy answer to the question many people have (even many republicans) is if there is nothing to hide, then why keep hiding it. He has a huge political problem if he does not release his taxes, and obviously he thinks he has a bigger problem if he does. It sure does not inspire confidence in a man when he claims he is innocent but continues to "take the fifth". If he is proud of what he has done why not show us.
Just imagine if President then candidate Obama refuse to show his tax returns. Just imagine.
The taxes returns are normal nothing personal. It gives the America people an ideal on how you would govern.
Romney = secretive
Just like we'll keep asking to see what's in those fast & furious documents, murderers.
Interesting how the republicans are more interested in President Obama who ended the program when he found out about it that the actual republicans that started the program.
President Obama released all the documents the republicans asked for about the program. The republicans are on a fishing expedition for e-mails from after the program was shut down to try and prove their conspiracy theory that President Obama is planning to take your guns away from you.
The actual guys who were the fast and furious have already stated that President Obama and Eric Holder knew nothing about what they were doing.
But Mitt the twit's tax returns are real and every real man running for president has released them to the people. If Mitt was such a good businessman then why would he want to hide the proof?
Are they really letting that loon Arpaio speak at their convention? Just goes to show the caliber of the stars in the Republican Party. Like Rick Scott wasn't awful enough.
or Maine's loudmouth buffoon governor, Paul LePage.
How cum Sarah Yahbetcha has gone all quiet?
ORB.. Shh!! She's like the Candyman... say her name three times and she'll think someone gives a crap and re-appear. Don't spoil a good thing!!
D Gerrow - ain't it the truth! No one wants to dig up THAT joke again! Well, maybe we do. She WAS always good for a laugh - you betcha!
Obama/Biden 2012
Yes, and it is about as crazy as if Christie started talking about good diet and fitness.
She's too busy fielding F-bombs from her toddler grandchild.
What's the problem? THe international whiners association know as the dimwhitcrapic party is going to let the failure in chief speak. Call Romney D Bag, but your featured speakers is the dirt in the bag. Go whiners, tell America how little you are. It fits trash well.
The stupid Party = Vomit Republicans
PatG - my guess - you're a Republican, right? That's why your disjointed and unintelligent post read the way it did!
Obama/Biden 2012
Romney's just trying to take the focus off his tax returns. No Romney we are not interested in your birth certificate. Governor Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.”
Dear Pat,
If you didn't have a vaginal probe in your ears you could hear all the whining the republicans are doing.
As a woman I can't see how any woman would be stupid enough to vote for a republican to make her into a second class citizen with the government in charge of her body like in China. How is this freedom?
Republican men think women are so stupid that they don't know they are pregnant when they come in for an abortion. Women need a vaginal probe to know she is pregnant, hence the 24 hour waiting period after she finds out she is pregnant to think about it.
These are the idiots like Akins, the republicans want to put in charge of my body.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S EQUAL RIGHTS....VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Bingo One Two (1.3) !!!!!!!!
You're absolutely correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sherman didnt do his job good enough apparentely...
The clown car is going to pull up to the Tampa Convention Center and all of the clowns are going to unload. I am seriously doubting that I can watch this circle-jerk. My blood pressure will go through the roof. Trump, Sherrif Joe, Gov Scott, Christie, oh my!
Oh, by the way. Gov. Scott Walker walked all over you dumbass democrates and big labor losers this summer. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....LMAO
and we still don't know where obozo was born, or his academic record, or much else about him except that he is a liar, a distorter, and a divider who doesn't deserve another four years as the marxist in chief...ROMNEY/RYAN
mcpaddywack - we know EXACTLY where President Obama was born. You, we're not even sure you qualify as human - you certainly don't qualify as smart.
Your stupid post is just so much drivel that has been answered time and time again. The fact that you still cling to your lies says everything about you - none of it good!
Obama/Biden 2012
Thanks Wacky Mcpaddy, you just proved how dangerously retarded you and your crowd really are. I bet you and your buddies are talking civil war if Nobama wins. Bring it on freak.
Ah...mcpaddywack, allow me to use logic to throw some stuff out there.
First, Romney's tax returns. The republicans throw up the defense of "If there was something in there, the IRS woulda found out about it and done something!" Fair, yet in 2009 the IRS also had a Tax Amnesty program for those with overseas accounts.
Second, Obama's Birth Certificate. Were this a huge controversy, the FBI would have known (That's Federal Bureau of Investigation) and barred him from running for president and there would be legal action taken against him. Yet there is not.
Third, his College records. Had Obama lied about his college records, don't you think Harvard would have said something about it by now? "Oh, that guy? Yeah, he didn't go here. Don't link him with us."
Bring it on says JV the computer commando. LOL. He'd drop a load in his pants if he ever heard a shot fired in anger.
mcpaddy you are the only one who doesn't know. He was born in hawaii, he went to Harvard where he graduated with very high honors and was the editor of the Harvard Law Review.
That's right rambo leftsux, bring it on (the civil war that you right wing lunatics are threatening to bring if obama wins). It would be a pleasure to accelerate the american taliban's inevitable extinction, you would be a good place to start since your such a tough guy.
left sux who ever said shots being fired ,oh thats right you republicans are the gun totin sun of a guns,ready to shoot any one that gets in your way.there are other way that JV can kick your ass.and he doesn't need a gun to do it.you poor excuse of a person
You talk about the Pres. being a liar, well look who talking now.
LMAO thanks for the amusement You teapubs are hysterical to watch as you spin off into oblivion not knowing if you are coming or going.
Show me ANYTHING Barry wrote while he was the editor of Harvard Law Review? An "editor" should have HUNDREDS of articles that would be plastered across the internet by now. Showing Barry's intelligence & mastery of law skills.
But there are how many? That's right....... NONE
Now why is that?
Yes Steve, it's totally reasonable to expect people to find and put up Harvard Law Review articles from 30 years ago. Let me just get right on that.
I assume you can confidently assert that there are "NONE" because you've actually read through all the Reviews in question?
How about letting all the rest of us know how he attended the schools he went to with his background? How did he get in?
Ash - Funny the other members of Harvard Law Review remember President Obama clearly. But, of course, Steve has "secret information" no one else has.
Do these idiots get any dumber? There seems to be a plethora of them today - more than usual. They've crawled out of the woodwork like cockroaches! Ugh - and just as disgusting!
Obama/Biden 2012
Steve-446003:
I'm really not sure what you're implying here. What in his background are you saying should have prevented him from getting in?
Oh course nobody asked to see your birth certificate Romneyhood. You are a rich white dude, not a brilliant black man. The only thing I would love to see is your transcript from Kindergarten. Who let you graduate ? You are such a moron!! WE are not surprised by your remark as some of us know that your religion(mormonism) teaches that blacks should always be slaves.
White Floridian Obama /Biden 2012
Myth Rmoney must have talked to donald trump. Its looks like he took his advice. Looks like Rmoney is a birther now. Rmoney will say anything to get into office. To think this is all what the republican/tea party has to offer.
No, no birth certificate. How about those tax returns instead?
Let's see, a 0% of the black vote, a mere 20% of the Latino vote, he's alienating all women who can think for themselves, which leaves the only people voting for him as angry old racist rich white men. Not too many of those left out there, thank god. Unless he's planning on pulling a Bush and stealing the election, Rmoney has no chance.
The teabagger republinazis will be foaming at the mouth like the rabid dogs they are. Only one way to handle a rabid dog - take him out behind the barn and put a bullet in him, just like Old Yeller.
Time to put all the old yellers down.
TOGRIADR.
Not to worry, this will get all the birthers frothy (Santorum, anyone?) before the convention. With Sheriff Joe speaking at the zoo, this is going to be a circus. Just ask Akin what happens when you let the cat out of the bag about how your party really feels. After a few days in town with nothing to do (town shut down for the hurricane), these guys are going to start hitting the bottle and I'm willing to bet someone is going to say something REAL stupid... can't wait.
They could always go skinny dipping in Tampa Bay.
Obama gets 99% of the BLACK vote & you don't call that RACIST?
Steve - let's see, we have the Republican party that hates women; gays; blacks; old people; etc. Why WOULDN'T 99% of blacks vote for Obama? Why wouldn't 99% of US Citizens vote for him???? It's the intelligent thing to do!
Obama/Biden 2012
No, it's called a CONSTITUENCY.
If, during his stump speeches in '08, Obama had said anything along the lines of "Nobody's ever asked me if I wear a white, pointed hat on the weekend.", THAT would be racist.
I hope you are not being purposefully obtuse, and can understand the difference.
Wow! You must be a rocket scientist. Sadly half wits like you get to vote...no wonder our country is deteriorating.
There has NEVER been any candidate to garner 99% of the vote for any single race or class of people. Yet, Obama was able to do so? So think beyond the end of your nose for a second. Did people VOTE for Obama because he was the BEST CANDIDATE or because he was is BLACK?
That is the definition of RACISM.
Steve - because he WAS and IS the best candidate.
That's called intelligence! Oh, and for the record, I'm a white woman.
Obama/Biden 2012
You would have to be out of your mind to vote against you self interest (tea party). 99% of the vote means that they see racism being use against Pres Obama. Or, are you calling 99% of black people racists?
Speaking about his Michigan roots, he said,
"No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised." - Mitt Romney, Commerce, MI, August 24, 2012
The same Mitt Romney said two weeks ago that this election and HIS campaign would be
"helped immensely if we had an agreement ... that we were going to talk about issues" and not "attacks based upon business or family or taxes or things of that nature." - Mitt Romney, NBC News interview with reporter Chuck Todd
Nit-Wit-Mitt is now a BIRTHER too!
As well as CONTINUING to be a Pathological Flip Flopper!
No, Steve, we don't. Why? Because the Other Choice that Black people have is Mittens and his Magic Underwear. He is a Mormon and hates black people by the very nature of being a Mormon -- they believe blacks should remain slaves and that even in their version of heaven, blacks will only come in as slaves.
So, of course, none of the black community (who can THINK) will vote for a hateful, cultist POS like Romney. What else could you possibly expect given those simple facts??
So -- the only part of this that's RACIST is the Romney Factor and his silly Mormon Cult with its Magic Underwear and silly disappearing Golden Tablets that those whack jobs truly believe in. And you want to vote for one of them.
jesus h nipple, no wonder VALUES isn't being discussed by the repubes during this election. They are propping up a whacko cultist as their candidate!!
GOP is in a death spiral. How do they think they can win when they wage war on WOMEN, AFRICAN AMERICANS, LATINOS, WORKING CLASS FAMILIES, COLEGE STDENTS AND THE ELDERLY!
Look at the GOP demographics and you see a dying party in its death throes.
Bye Bye GOP, off into oblivion you go!
Yup, the GOP is riding in to your town to stampede your wives, rape your cattle, run over your dog and then throw your granny over the nearest bluff. Then cyanide cocktails for the middle class and sarin gas for the poor and then the rich will rule the land. Do you liberals realize how stupid you sound? Any of you capable of speaking about the deficit, fiscal policy, job growth strategies. Apparently not.
Like his fellow sheep Owencoffin learned nothing from the 2010 midterms.
pgulrich - I'd take a look in the mirror if I were you. The illiterate ones on this post are clearly the Republicans - check out news98 - typical right wing radical.
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking Sanity, can you in the REAL world show me what Obama has done good? Everything is so bad the only thing your side will do is try and destroy a decent man when it is Obama who sat in a racist church, LOST our credit rating, and gave us trillions in new debt. 2010 midterms were but a beginning, you must be defeated at the ballot box and rejected from society. Your "savior" has damned future generations to debt that is out of control and yet here you are....the pres is a success. Uh-huh....more like SUCKS.
brutaltruth - you ignorant buffoon - President Obama inherited a mess that will take decades to fix and anyone who is intelligent knows that.
Decent man? Are you kidding me? Romney is a lowlife that believes his money should make him President - nothing more. He is absolute proof that all the money in the world can't buy class. He and Anne prove that daily.
Our credit rating was downgraded because the credit bureau stated they did not believe Congress would work with the President. So, the credit downgrade was a result of the worst congress in history.
Your stupidity and the fact you won't face facts says everything about you - none of it good!
Obama/Biden 2012
Mitt the American people could care less where you were born but they sure would like to know where your money is an how did it get there. I mean really, who wants a president whose money is too good for American banks I say move where your money is or show us your taxes NittMitt!
Yeah, that's right.... Republicans helped rid America of slavery.... help push civil rights... and we do our best to try to help people be the BEST they can be...... but you're right, party platform is more important than the truth.......
pgulrich:
Sure. The deficit is made worse by tax breaks for those who don't need them, and by job loss, which is worsened by austerity. Job growth is spurred by increased demand, which in turn is stimulated by spending. I know "spending" is a dirty word to you, but that's reality. That's how economics work.
When there are more jobs, i.e. more demand for labor, then those jobs become better-paying. That means more people spending more money on more things, which drives the cycle onward. (As a bonus, it also means the government has to spend less on keeping people alive!) Eventually, if nobody screws it up in the meantime, there are enough people making enough money that tax revenues increase to the point of overtaking the deficit.
Steve-446003:
In other words, Republicans were the social liberals of the 19th Century.
Steve - you're talking about the old GOP. The current one is based on ignorance and hatred of everyone who isn't backward, male, old, white and straight. God forbid you be anything else. The OLD GOP had something to offer - unfortunately that party is dead. The radical right has killed it and made its extinction a certainty. Hatred is not a way to go through life.
Obama/Biden 2012
And the extreme left is just as wrong......
Steve - everyone seems extreme left to the rabid right wingers. We don't hate anyone because of their color; sexual orientation; sex; age; ethnic background; level of income; etc. It's called inclusion - something the far right finds threatening!
Obama/Biden 2012
After 8 years of DUMBYA BUSH and a GOP Controlled Congress who drove us to the brink of disaster and gave us the Bush Recession -- you clearly have NOTHING to say about ANY of those topics -- except that the GOP managed to destroy everything good about our economy, fiscal policy, job growth (we were losing 700K jobs per month when DUMBYA left office!) and gave us some multi-trillion dollar wars that we should have never started, and although Dumbya and president cheney told us they would be over "shortly", we're still neck-deep in them a decade later after trillions of dollars LOST.
The birthers told Obama "prove it". So he did. He showed them his birth certificate and they became an instant joke, solidified by their continued denial.
The dems told Romney "prove it. Show us your taxes. He won't. And his wife says it so they don't attack them further. If he really paid 13+% a year he will be able to rub it in their faces and they will be a joke.
So why won't he?
I just want Mitt to provide information on those bank accounts in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Switzerland. Those banks are providing "tax free income" and all of us should have the same access to tax havens, if Mitt really wants to be our leader. "Wealth Not Made in America", maybe Mitt plans to get rid of the IRS all together.
Beav, you do understand that one is required by the constitution and the other is just recent precedent but not required by anything, right?
commonamerican - You don't know what you are talking about. NO other Presidential candidate has EVER had to provide their birth certificate -NO ONE.
Recent precedent - are you 200 years old???? Every presidential candidate in our lifetime has provided a minimum of 5 years of tax returns - Romney's father - 12 years.
You should totally just shut up because you look dumber every time you post! Where the hell do they dig you imbeciles up???
Obama/Biden 2012
lol.
Obama didn't have to provide his birth certificate, he just did it to shut people up. I never bought into that birther crowd myself, but found it very interesting it raised such a ruckus with you folks.
Born in the US is a constitutional requirement for the presidency, correct?
The tax return precedent was by Geo Romney, when he did it as a politial ploy. Not a requirement for presidency, correct?
And thanks for the sweet comments, I love you too.
common, once he showed his certificate to the proper channels it still wasn't enough. it was not required to show anymore but he did in order to shut your side up. your side was still clamoring for it, and still is in some parts, even after the so called requirement was met. that's why you looked stupid for continuing to make a fuss about it.
Just wait. I KNOW Trump can't keep his mouth shut, and will bring it up, even after he was nationally embarrassed.
common - NO Mitt's father is NOT the person who set the precedent for releasing tax returns but thanks for playing. You prove to be dumber with each post!
Obama/Biden 2012
Then please tell us all who first started showing 10-12 years of tax returns. I eagerly await the correct information so I can apologize for my ignorance.
SS I don't believe the President birth certificate crap. There were two other Presidents who were hounded by citizenship questions and theories, so no Obama is not the only one.
commonamerican1
Like seeking sanity said you don't know what you're talking about.
Pick up a civics book Moron.
common - as I said, ALL presidential candidates in our lifetime have released at least 5 years of tax returns. Mitt's father released 12. Mitt's - not even one full year.
ksw - NO OTHER PRESIDENT has been hounded to produce his birth certificate! NO ONE!
Obama/Biden 2012
If President Obama wasn't born in the USA the Clintons would have capitalized on it .
common, you might as well apologize for your ignorance since seeking said nothing about showing 10-12 years of it, just who set the precedent of showing them, period. don't let a little thing like actually reading what you're responding to get in your way though.
Perhaps I've seen a bit more life than you seeking, I believe that 12 year thing was started in 68 by Romney.
One thing about age, it gives a better perspective.
One question for this group though...can we at least agree it's a constitutional requirement that a candidate be born in the US, and can we at least agree the "tax returns" are not?
common - you might want to google presidential tax returns and see that you're wrong. And, no one stated it is not a constitutional requirement to be a US Citizen - just that no other President has ever been hounded to show his birth certificate. Get it now?
Obama/Biden 2012
common, no we can't agree on this
can we at least agree it's a constitutional requirement that a candidate be born in the US
cause you only have to be a US CITIZEN. you don't have to be born in the US. once again, don't bother actually reading the info you are talking about, it makes you comically ignorant and has put a smile on my face.
The actual requirements are:
Thank you Wikipedia.
I do have one question, does plotting with your Vice Presidential candidate and members of your party to destroy the United States constitute rebellion ?
Ha, no it is not required by the Constitution, but more importantly it is required now by the general electorate, Romney is between a rock and a hard place and he knows it. People don't like Romney to begin with he keeps saying different things, and this is just more confirmation that he is phony, that the guy is just kind of sleazy. That is the politics of it whether you like it or not, he self confirms his most negative trait, because hell there must be something wrong he must be lying or he would just do what every other candidate does and show his tax returns.
Nope, just your tax returns thank you. And with today's release of those files from Bain we can see how you guys lie and cheat to convert management fees into capital gains which get you a 15% tax rate (something to do with the Cayman Islands... maybe you should consider being their president?)
Mitt should show his birth certificate so we can see if he was born on some other planet.
Has he worked it out with the evangelical fundamentalists that when The Rapture comes, unlike everyone else- whose clothes will be left behind - he will get to keep his magic underwear?
I will state here and now that:
and I DEMAND to see his real LONG FORM Birth Certificate to prove otherwise.
Why else would so many deluded (conservative) people keep saying the same thing over and over? This is what they all say:
Get Donald Trump and Joe Arpaio on that stat! The Goofy Old Poop Squad in action again!!!
No one has ever asked to see this draft dodging coward's birth certificate but we sure as hell have been clamoring for this financial records. SHOW US YOUR TAX RETURNS, YOU SPINELESS WEASEL!!!
Draft dodging (letting the poor and disadvantaged take your turn at the sharp end) is pretty scummy AND is something Romney has in common with Newt Gingrich. What a GREAT patriot!
Not to mention Bush Jr., Cheney, Reagan, Quayle, and everyone else but H.W..
Actually Ronald Reagan was in the Army during WWII... He was near sighted and could not serve at the front. He made "Why We Fight" documentaries in Hollywood...
Dear Mr. Romney, I do not care about your birth certificate, but I do care about your tax returns. I do not care how much you make each year, but I do care about those bank accounts in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Switzerland. I am interested to know if the revenues made in each of those banks is taxable in the United States, and if not, why? In addition, I would love the contact phone numbers for the person or persons managing those "tax dodge shelters". You can fight with the IRS later, right now there are many of us who want access to your tax free havens offshore. Your wealth suddenly sounds like your Bain Capital Days, "Wealth Not Made in America".
Hadn't you heard? The Swiss are having their feelings hurt by all these references to Mitt Romney's bank accounts. They prefer to keep things QUIET. Sunlight is bad for their business.
Obozo is the most secretive politician ever.....he has been unsuccessfully browbeaten for years to release any facts at all about himself and there were good reasons he didn't want anyone to know anything about him. Why should anyone believe he was born in Hawaii when he attended school in Indonesia as an Indonesian national. He still has not released his college records that will prove he attended at a reduced tuition in America as a foreigner.
Hey, does anyone else smell Fiesty Redhead?? Sniff, sniff, and the stinch of Bjob1 and ugly amy from Portland. Now that all the leftie loons are here, take note. Now Romney is tied in the polls with Oloser... The birthing thing is not a real stretch. In Dreams from my father, our loser in Chief ate dog on a regular basis. Once he got into those expensive colleges,( that no one can verify where the money came from ) to send this radical, broke, young Muslim boy on a trip around the world to hang out in Pakistan with his radical roomates. He smoked a ton of pot, and did as much cocaine as he could afford, while he attended. It's still funny how no one has ever known anyone who attended class with him. His entire life is a sham, smoke and mirrors, lies and deception. And this fool became President... Oh my.. Sad.. Keep vetting OLOSER!!!
SRAGAN - too bad you're too ignorant to get past the lies that have been proved to be just that - lies. But, it's all you've got because we all know Romney is a loser who can't relate to anyone and who no one likes. Keep believing in him. It's good for someone who is unintelligent.
The intelligent voters will vote again for President Obama. See, we've actually done our homework and don't rely on myths and fables - like you do!
Obama/Biden 2012 for the intelligent voters
How about a black man who has never had a job!!! What a slug... And he wants more slugs, more poverty, more dependence on government, more food stamps, and more people on welfare. And I did build my business, stupid..
Psst: Romney was born in Mexico where is grandfather had three wives - pass it on. LOL
SARAGAN:: How about a white man who has never had a real job! You are Mutt's azzki$$er it seems. And you did build your business? Did you get loans from the government to do it? If you did, you didn't build your business. Did you build a building to house your business? If you didn't, you didn't build your business.
Psst: Obama's grandfather was born in kenya and had 5 wives. Pass it on.
SRAGAN - I don't know who you're talking about. "a black man who has never had a job" See President Obama was an attorney; taught constitutional law at University of Chicago (most of us consider professors as having jobs); was a community organizer; was an Illinois State Senator; was a US Senator. Pretty sure those count as jobs in intelligent circles. Oh, maybe that's the problem - my bad!
Obama/Biden 2012
Last night I saw the bumper sticker that tells it all:
George W. Bush smiling with a caption stating: "I Got Us Into This Mess, But Thanks For Blaming It On The Black Guy.
The birther issue is a non-issue unless you consider Hawaii separate from the United States. Hawaii became part of the U.S. (the 50th state) on 8/21/59. President Obama was born (in Hawaii) on 8/4/61. If anyone votes for Romney/Ryan on this (or any other) basis, they are more stupid than anyone that voted for George W. Bush (either time). This has been proven and the birth certificate shown. What we are still missing, of course, are Romney's volumnous and explosive tax returns showing his vast monies that he pays less tax on than I do on my equivalent portion and he houses in tax shelters.
How about it Mitt? Ready to man up?
I don't think folks like Romney, who's family moved to a Mormon commune in Mexico to practice polygamy, is in any position to question anyone's "Americanism".
So are you just against free speech for those you don't agree with?
Or do you consider it hypocritical despite your own willingness to cry about tax returns while simmultaneousy cheering a man who refused for over 3 years to release his birth certificate, still refuses to release his college transcripts, and tried to use "executive priviledge" to keep Fast and Furious documents from the American public?
pjam09, aren't Teapublicans the ones that came up with the idea of asking for birth certificates and college transcripts? Why aren't you equally outraged to see Romney's, who's father was born in MEXICO, or McCain's when he was running, since he was "supposedly" born on base in Panama? You realize that makes about as much sense as declaring that Romney paid zero taxes, offering no proof, and saying it's on Mitt to prove otherwise, right? I mean if you're going to just make up bogus crap and say it's highly suspicious that the President won't prove otherwise, why not just go for the gusto: say he's an alien, or behind the JFK assasination. He MUST know where Hoffa is buried!!! He hasn't offered ANY proof of where he was when Jimmy went missing!!!
How about a radical muslim who ate dog, did cocaine, and smoked pot??? It's our President!!!!!
